A drought has been officially declared in part of Wales after an extended period of dry weather and low rainfall caused water levels to plummet.
The decision was taken by NRW and the Welsh Government’s Drought Liaison Group after discussing the impact the prolonged heatwave had wreaked on the environment, particularly rivers and reservoirs.
“This can impact some of our most precious habitats and species as well as systems we often take for granted, such as our water supplies. The whole region had just 65.5% of its average rainfall in July and all river levels are lower than expected for this time of the year, with the Ewenny, Teifi and Taf being “exceptionally low”, NRW said
