This water is abstracted from the rivers Dee and Wye and directly from the Alwen reservoir, Lake Vyrnwy and the Elan reservoirs. There are regulating reservoirs in Wales on the Rivers Dee, Severn and Wye and their tributaries and the total volume of water abstracted from these three rivers in 1980 in England was 77,523 million gallons.
