Welsh Water has issued a statement about the risk of hosepipe bans being imposed elsewhere in Wales. People have been concerned by the sight of dried up reservoirs across the nation. A ban has already been announced for Pembrokeshire and Camarthenshire from August 19.
The photograph above was taken at the Beacons Reservoir near Merthyr Tydfil on Thursday, August 5. Images shows huge banks of the reservoir are exposed by the receding water levels.
However, despite the worrying images, Welsh Water has said that at the moment it believes that water resources across the rest of the nation are in a good position.
