A lot of garden pond articles now carry warnings not to dispose of excess/unwanted plants in canals etc. because of this problem With regards to Japanese Knotweed the government and other organisations are looking into 'natural' methods to get rid of it. There is also a possibility of an ASBO and/or fine for home owners and anyone else that leaves it to go unchecked on their property.

Doesn't read that way to me.
"Call me old and cynical, but I think that CaRT's idea the 'Great Nature Watch' is a bit of lip service that is intended to placate the prospective punters."
