Drone images show how much Wales' reservoirs have dried up this year

Drone footage over a Welsh reservoir has shown just how desperate the water situation is in Pembrokeshire which sees the first hosepipe ban in Wales come into force later this month.

Llys-y-Fran reservoir, in the foothills of the Preseli Mountains, is owned and operated by Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW) and supplies much of the water used by homes in south Pembrokeshire. But as water resources approach "drought level" in west Wales and beyond, DCWW is looking at ways to conserve water in the area as levels continue to drop.

At Llys-y-Fran, it's clear to see water levels are far below where they should be with large expanses of the reservoir bank exposed.
