Welsh Gov are proposing extending the slurry spreading period this winter, a measure is to help farmers who are having to cut grass later than usual because of the drought. Farmers certainly have had a tough time this summer, but so have rivers. 1/2

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn cynnig estyn cyfnod y gwasgu siriwm y gaeaf hwn, mesur i helpu ffermwyr sy’n gorfod torri glaswellt yn hwy nag arfer oherwydd sychder. Mae gan ffermwyr bendant amser caled y gaeaf hwn, ond mae gan afonydd hefyd. Y gaeaf diwethaf cawsom adroddiadau o ledaeniad yn ystod y...

Analysis of Welsh river level data by Afonydd Cymru is showing an alarming picture of water heights following the latest heatwave last week. Twenty-eight Natural Resources Wales gauging stations were registering lowest recorded levels (since data collection began at that location) yesterday. 1/2

Mae dadansoddi data lefel afonydd Cymru gan Afonydd Cymru yn dangos darlun pryderus o uchderau dŵr ar ôl y ton gwres ddiweddar wythnos diwethaf. Roedd 28 o orsaf fesur Adnoddau Naturiol Cymru yn cofnodi'r lefelau isaf a gofnodwyd erioed (erbyn i gasglu data ddechrau yn y lleoliad hwnnw) ddoe. 1/2

Mae Adnoddau Naturiol Cymru wedi cyhoeddi heddiw bod Gogledd Gwynedd, Ynys Môn, De Gwynedd, Afon Dyfrdwy (Cymru), Clwyd a'r ardaloedd Uwch Hafren bellach yn y statws sychder. Mae dalgylchau ar draws de-orllewin Cymru hefyd wedi symud o statws arferol i statws tywydd sych hir-dymor. bit.ly/4vH5QYP

Medicines are now routinely detected in water and soil testing. These substances can enter the environment in several ways but in the case of rivers, they can have serious impacts on aquatic ecology, including behaviour change and lessening reproduction rates. 1/2

Mae meddyginiaethau nawr yn cael eu canfod yn arferol mewn profion dŵr a phridd. Gall y sylweddau hyn fynd i mewn i'r amgylchedd mewn sawl ffordd, ond mewn achos afonydd, gallant gael effaith ddifrifol ar ecoleg ddŵr, gan gynnwys newid ymddygiad a lleihau cyfraddau atgenhedlu. 1/2

Accountability is key to Wales reversing its decline in biodiversity. We cannot have a repeat of the Water Framework Directive experience, where targets missed by some way have not resulted in any accountability for that failure. bit.ly/44tSDaC

The experience of the Water Framework Directive's missed targets with no accountability cannot be repeated for biodiversity.....

Mae atebolrwydd yn allweddol i Gymru wrth geisio gwrthdroi'r dirywiad mewn bioamrywiaeth. Ni allwn ganiatáu i brofiad Cyfarwyddeb Fframwaith Dwr ddigwydd eto, lle nad yw targedau a methwyd mewn rhyw ffordd gan rai wedi arwain at unrhyw atebolrwydd am y fethiant hwnnw. bit.ly/4xNgPlR

When it comes to impacts on Welsh rivers, so far the new Senedd has continued the trend of focusing disproportionally on the water industry. Wales needs to come to terms with the fact that fixating on one sector will not ensure the healthy rivers that people are rightly calling for. 1/2

O ran effeithiau ar afonydd Cymru, hyd yma mae’r Senedd newydd wedi parhau i ganolbwyntio’n ansefydlog ar y diwydiant dŵr. Mae angen i Gymru dderbyn y ffaith na fydd canolbwyntio ar un sector yn sicrhau’r afonydd iach y mae pobl yn galw amdanynt yn gyfiawn. 1/2
