Saw that on the news this morning... That Wales supplies many parts of England with it`s water supplies... Hmm...???? Methinks lack of investment by water authorities on infrastructure over decades not only in terms of sewage outflow but far more importantly storage and supply systems...may be coming home to roost..?
while it may be nice for the relatively new pastime of cold water swimmers to have sewage free water to swim in... there seem to be other priorities worth considering other than grumbling about increasing water bills, perhaps the new govt has taken a dangerous bull by the horns....Just hope the bull does not win much as it seems to have done in the US....?

As much as we love visiting Wales rain is much like it is down here, plenty of it ordinarily but like them little new provision for retention of it.

Can't be arsed to read it all as it's probably full of BBC manipulation of the facts, BUT we did cruise the Mon & Brec 20+ years ago and spent most of our time scraping the hull along the bottom and getting stuck in bridge 'oles, it's always had issues with low water

Be interesting to see what happens with regards Llangollen Canal as they use water taken from the River Dee at Horseshoe Falls.
I think it is the only canal with a current .( might be wrong about that )
A friend who works for Welsh Water tells me they keep some reservoirs low to prevent flooding during the heavy rain.
