The River Mersey is a river in north-western England.
The Mersey is formed from three tributaries: the River Etherow, the River Goyt and the River Tame; these become the Mersey at their confluence to the east of Stockport, Greater Manchester.
Water quality in the River Mersey has been severely affected by industrialisation in the region, and in 1985, the Mersey Basin Campaign was established to improve water quality and encourage waterside regeneration.
