Speaking of Watercress
 
I haven't had any watercress in prbably 45 years.
I've seen some here and there in a few small streams but they're all
polluted.
Is there any commercially available water cress?

There's a watercress farm just a couple of miles from my front door. That's in SE England.

Additionally, watercress is widely sold in supermarkets in the UK. I understand that most of it is imported from Portugal.
