Nant-y-moch Reservoir during the 1984 summer drought
Looking north across the reservoir towards Cefn yr Esgair. The low water level is a result of the very dry spring and summer in 1984.
Nant-y-moch Reservoir was created in 1964 as part of the Cwm Rheidol hydroelectric power scheme. Land by the Afon Camdwr was flooded here. Link
The image has been scanned from a Kodacolor VR100 negative dating from July or August 1984.
Comparison with a 2024 Streetview image is dramatic. Link
