Author(s): N S Robins and J Davies, British Geological Survey Contributor(s): D A Jones, Natural Resources Wales and G Farr, British Geological Survey Wales enjoys a humid westerly airstream which provides a plentiful source of water. Public supply largely depends on upland gathering and surface storage, but groundwater is also supplied. Approximately 250 Ml d-1 (91 Mm3 a-1) or about 8 per cent of the total water in public supply in Wales derives from groundwater and a further 95 Ml d-1 (34 Mm3 a-1) is abstracted for private consumption from about 21 000 boreholes, wells and springs. Private abstraction is limited and of a local scale because of the indurated and fractured nature and modest permeability of many of the aquifers. It is nevertheless of significant social and economic importance and is used for drinking water, farming, and light industry. Development of groundwater remains patchy due to a perception that it is unlikely to be present in useable quantities in areas such as the hard rock terrains typical, for example, of much of central and west Wales. Groundwater is also important as it maintains low river flows during dryer periods. The traditional perception of groundwater in Wales is as an insignificant resource that has been a hazard to the mining communities. The Water Framework Directive (European Community, 2000) has brought new impetus to the understanding of groundwater in Wales as the Directive requires that the physical and chemical status of even the smallest producing aquifers be reviewed and remedial targets set. There are also several significant innovative groundwater schemes in Wales, including the Clwyd Augmentation/Abstraction Scheme and hydrogeological investigations carried out during the development of the Cardiff Bay Barrage. Wales has a wide range of aquifers that reflect its diverse geology. These include the Triassic sandstone aquifer in the Vale of Clwyd in north Wales, the only aquifer designated as Principal A type by the Environment Agency Wales, the ‘Old Red Sandstone’ of the Brecon area and large areas of Carboniferous Limestone. Quaternary and alluvial deposits also provide some resource potential. Much of central and upland Wales comprises Lower Palaeozoic and older bedrock. There are large areas of metasedimentary strata, typified by rocks such as mudstone, siltstone and sandstone which offer shallow fracture porosity and storage with no supporting intergranular storage. The Silurian and Ordovician rocks of west Wales, for example, sustain small springs and shallow boreholes enough to supply rural demand. The alluvial deposits that floor most valleys provide additional storage if they are in hydraulic continuity with the fractured bedrock. Deeper circulation occurs in the Llandrindod Wells area of central Wales where a number of chemically mature spring sources were used as Victorians spa resorts. Devonian sandstones and mudstones crop out to the north and east of the South Wales Coalfield. Shallow weathering and fracturing provide storage and transport to groundwater

  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

CALCITE CEMENTATION OF SIXTY-FIVE-YEAR-OLD ARAGONITE SAND DREDGE PILE A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering The University of Mississippi by NATHANIAL M. SNYDER May 2011 Copyright Nathanial M. Snyder ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Dredging of the harbor at Stocking Island, Bahamas (23°31’45”N, 75°49’41”W) in 1942 produced four dredge piles of cross-bedded aragonite skeletal sand. The spoils piles are on the leeward (western) shore of the island, where they are subject to minimal wave energy. Collectively they are 350 x 50 m in plan view and 2 m high. The surface is very well cemented, which requires a hammer and chisel for sampling. Samples were collected from six sites at various locations of the dredge pile. Samples were analyzed for both chemical and physical properties using thin-section examination, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, bulk density measurements, isotopic analyses, and scanning electron microscopy.

  • THE ROLE of GRAZING ANIMALS and AGRICULTURE in the CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: Recognising Key Environmental and Economic Benefits Delivered by Agriculture in Wales’ Uplands
    THE ROLE OF GRAZING ANIMALS AND AGRICULTURE IN THE CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: recognising key environmental and economic benefits delivered by agriculture in Wales’ uplands Author: Ieuan M. Joyce. May 2013 Report commissioned by the Farmers’ Union of Wales. Llys Amaeth,Plas Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, SY23 3BT Telephone: 01970 820820 Executive Summary This report examines the benefits derived from the natural environment of the Cambrian Mountains, how this environment has been influenced by grazing livestock and the condition of the natural environment in the area. The report then assesses the factors currently causing changes to the Cambrian Mountains environment and discusses how to maintain the benefits derived from this environment in the future. Key findings: The Cambrian Mountains are one of Wales’ most important areas for nature, with 17% of the land designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). They are home to and often a remaining stronghold of a range of species and habitats of principal importance for the conservation of biological diversity with many of these species and habitats distributed outside the formally designated areas. The natural environment is critical to the economy of the Cambrian Mountains: agriculture, forestry, tourism, water supply and renewable energy form the backbone of the local economy. A range of non-market ecosystem services such as carbon storage and water regulation provide additional benefit to wider society. Documentary evidence shows the Cambrian Mountains have been managed with extensively grazed livestock for at least 800 years, while the pollen record and archaeological evidence suggest this way of managing the land has been important in the area since the Bronze Age.

  • Hidden Possibilities Possible Uses of Hillforts in Southern Gwynedd, North-West Wales
    Hidden possibilities Possible uses of hillforts in southern Gwynedd, north-west Wales Master thesis Karolina Saxerbo Sjöberg Uppsala University 2014 Department of archaeology and ancient history Mentors: Frands Herschend & Anders Kaliff Second mentor: Toby Driver Abstract Hidden possibilities – Possible uses of hillforts in southern Gwynedd, north-west Wales, Dolda möjligheter – Möjliga användningar av fornborgar i södra Gwynedd, nordvästra Wales. Only one of the hillforts of southern Gwynedd has been submitted to a small excavation, and the forts in this study are quite forgotten in the larger British hillfort research. This thesis explores the forts’ possible uses through an analysis of their landscape setting, accessibility and view, architecture, internal features and archaeological setting. The result of the analysis show a variety of uses , for example related to occupation, trade, exchange or communication, agriculture and pastoralism, defence, religion and ritual. In addition, some larger patterns, connections and pairings of forts also come to light. Hopefully this study will lead to a heightened interest in, and future studies and excavations of the forts of southern Gwynedd. Keywords: Hillfort, GIS, hillfort uses, north-western Wales, possibilities, landscape context, isolation, accessibility, architecture, archaeological context. 2 Preface My interest for hillforts in this area and their uses is the result of a lifelong curiosity of the Iron Age people of Wales and their religion. That was the subject of my bachelor thesis, and I wanted to continue along the same lines here. For this reason, I directed my focus to hillforts –which in some cases are known for to having had religious or ritual uses. After choosing the area of southern Gwynedd, mostly because its archaeology is quite forgotten, it became clear that it was necessary to begin with a study of all the possible uses of the forts.

I would like to pay tribute to the founder members for their inspiration and enterprise in launching the show back in the nineteen seventies. I would like to thank all the past and present members of the Show Committee for all their hard work, commitment and dedication along the way. Not forgetting all our old friends who are very sadly no longer with us. The contribution of all our other staunch supporters from near and far; who have worked tirelessly and contributed in so many different way over the last forty years in order to keep the show going, especially during the more challenging times, is also very much appreciated. That includes all our volunteer helpers for their invaluable labour, the stall holders, entertainers, exhibitors, judges, stewards and the charitable organisations who work, in conjunction with the committee, to stage the show. Staging the show also involves a major financial outlay that would be totally impossible without the generous support of all our many sponsors, for which we are extremely grateful. Caerwys is a traditional Agricultural Show, which provides an interesting day out for everybody from all walks of life, with something for all age groups, from children to senior citizens.
