The amount of harmful chemicals that have been leaking into a Ceredigion river from a disused mine for more than 100 years has been cut by 50%.

Frongoch mine, near Pontrhydygroes, was once one of the most productive lead and zinc mines in Wales, employing hundreds of people.

But since January Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has been tackling the legacy left by the mine.

"The River Ystwyth is very important for the area as it not only supports a rich variety of wildlife, but also draws anglers and tourists to the area."

So, this "pollution" is critical is it?? :confused:

Always remember, nature is in charge, get it wrong and it is you who suffers!.

Yes, without it the 'Quangocrat' may go the same way as other important species have.
