The fast flowing valley rivers in this catchment have experienced major changes over the last 200 years. Before the industrial revolution the rivers were noted for their rural tranquillity, remoteness and quality of salmon fishing; they were described by B H Malkin in 1803 as having: “perfect clearness, uncontaminated, unless in heavy floods, by the least tinge of muddy soil or any other fortuitous discolouring ” They then suffered a severe degradation due to industrialisation and huge population growth within the catchment. Effluents from the iron and steel works, coal mines, power stations, coke ovens and sewers, poured into the rivers. Rapid improvements have been occurring since the 1970’s due to pollution control legislation and the decline in heavy industry. Wildlife, including migratory fish and otters, is now returning to the river; the Taff Trail attracts many visitors who enjoy the many features of the catchment; anglers, canoeists and rowers use its waters for recreation. The N R A ’s vision is to manage the uses of the catchment so as to continue this improvement in a sustainable way.
