The Talybont Reservoir, Powys, Wales, GBR.

 

Despite the recent rainfall, the water level on the reservoir is reducing. Talybont Reservoir (Cronfa Ddŵr Tal-y-bont), covering 318 acres, is the largest stillwater reservoir in the central Brecon Beacons. Located 1.5 miles upstream of Talybont-on-Usk, it was constructed by Newport Corporation between 1931 and 1939 to supply treated water to Newport. Now owned by Welsh Water, the reservoir underwent a £10 million modernisation in 2019, including internal pipework upgrades.
