A drought has been officially declared in parts of Wales, Britain after an extended period of dry weather and low rainfall caused water levels to plummet.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) said the threshold to trigger drought status in south-west Wales was met on Friday.
The decision was taken by NRW and the Welsh government’s drought liaison group after discussing the impact of the prolonged heatwave on the environment, in particular on rivers and reservoirs.
The areas affected include north Ceredigion, Teifi, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthen, Swansea, Llanelli, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend.
