    An hour of water is an hour that a valve/tap/whatever which allows untreated sewage to be dumped into our waterways is left open.

    There are multiple of these valves/taps around Yorkshire which all together make up the half a million hours.

    This is a ridiculous way of measuring water volume. Though from what I understand even this level of monitoring is a relatively new thing.

    Officials caution that comparisons over the years are difficult as an increasing number of storm overflows have been fitted with monitors over time, and all now have the technology to record spills.
