Investigating pollution of the River Llynfi

At the end of July 2020, a small river in Wales – the Llynfi, a tributary of the Wye which runs along the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park near Talgarth – suffered a devastating pollution incident which killed over 10,000 fish and wiped out much invertebrate life in the river. I am determined to discover what caused this pollution. This is the third acute pollution incident on the same stretch of river since 2016.

Here’s my first article for Countryfile Magazine. My investigation continues.
