Dramatic pictures show low water levels at Elan Valley

Dramatic pictures have been captured of low water levels in the Elan Valley as the warm and dry weather has dried up water supplies around the country.

Welsh Water Dwr Cymru are urging people to use their water "efficiently" in order to maintain supplies as the dry spell continues.

June was the hottest on record in Wales with only 24% of long term average rainfall during the month.

The company said it is now spending an extra £1.5 million a week to safeguard supplies for its three million customers across most of Wales, Herefordshire and Deeside.

Welsh Water are also urging people to report their water leaks in order to help with supplies. Watch the report by Mike Griffiths:
