Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about managing pollution in the River Wye are a matter for the relevant local authorities and environmental agencies, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
