Mae’r Llwchwr yn afon De Cymru a fu unwaith yn wynebu rhai o’r llygredd diwydiannol gwaethaf.
Ond tra oedd ei ddŵr yn rhedeg yn ddu gyda llwch glo yn ystod y dydd, roedd pysgotwyr dewr yn dal sewin mawr yn y nos.
Darllenwch ein nodwedd afon ddiweddaraf yma:

The Llwchwr (Loughor) is a South Wales river that once faced some of the worst industrial pollution.
But while its waters ran black with coal dust during the day, intrepid anglers were still catching large sewin (sea trout) at night.

Great to see this important piece of Welsh environmental legislation on track and making its way through the Senedd.
It just requires Royal Assent now!
Well done @waleslink.bsky.social for all their work with it too.

Da iawn @waleslink.bsky.social am eu gwaith gydag ef hefyd.

We and West Wales Rivers Trust, South East Wales Rivers Trust and @wyeusk.bsky.social were among the many organisations that argued that EDF’s case for excluding the deterrents was flawed.
It is good to see the right decision has finally been made.

It looks as though acoustic fish deterrents are to be installed at the Hinkley Point C water intakes after all.
This is good news for fish species that inhabit and migrate through the Severn Estuary.

Ni a Ymddiriedolaethau Afonau Gorllewin Cymru, Dwyrain De Cymru ac @wyeusk.bsky.social oedd ymysg y nifer o sefydliadau a ddaeth i'r casgliad bod achos EDF dros hepgor y rhwystrwyr yn amhriodol.
Mae'n braf gweld bod y penderfyniad cywir wedi cael ei wneud yn y diwedd.

Mae'n ymddangos y bydd atalwr pysgod sain yn cael ei osod yn Nhyllau Dŵr Hinkley Point C ar ôl popeth.
Mae hyn yn newydd da i rywogaethau pysgod sy'n byw ac yn mudo trwy Estuari Hafren.

Welsh Government has committed to at least matching EU standards for environmental legislation.
And Europe is moving towards a total ban of these chemicals.
Defra should not drag Wales backwards in its environmental protection.
bit.ly/3M3D8ko
2/2
Defra's plan to tackle ‘forever chemicals’ is the latest example of why Wales needs devolved powers for water.
Despite being labelled as a plan for the UK, all the actions proposed are for England.
And weak actions they are too.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i gyfateb o leiaf safonau'r UE ar gyfer deddfwriaeth amgylcheddol.
Ac mae Ewrop yn symud tuag at waharddiad llwyr ar y cemegau hyn.
Dylai Defra beidio â thynnu Cymru yn ôl yn ei warchodaeth amgylcheddol.

Mae cynllun Defra i fynd i'r afael â 'chemegau tragwyddol' yn esiampl ddiweddaraf o pam mae angen pwerau datganoledig i Gymru ar gyfer dŵr.
Er gwaethaf cael ei labelu fel cynllun ar gyfer y DU, mae'r holl gamau a gynigir ar gyfer Lloegr. Ac mae'n gamau gwannach hefyd.

There are other proposals in the Green Paper that are encouraging too.
It is a consultation of course so if you care about Wales's rivers, now is the time to have your say on their future.

A Green Paper on water sector reform has been published by Welsh Government today.
We're pleased that our challenges, in partnership with @fishlegal.bsky.social, on the impact of spreading organic materials on land (slurry, manure, digestate and sludge) have been recognised.

Mae cynigion eraill yn y Papur Gwyrdd sy'n annog hefyd.
Fodd bynnag, mae'n ymgynghoriad felly os ydych chi'n poeni am afonydd Cymru, dyma'r amser i roi eich barn ar eu dyfodol.

Mae Papur Gwyrdd ar ddiwygio sector dŵr wedi cael ei gyhoeddi gan Lywodraeth Cymru heddiw.
Rydym yn falch bod ein heriau, mewn partneriaeth â @fishlegal.bsky.social, ar effaith lledaenu deunyddiau organig ar dir (lludw, manur, deunydd treuliadwy a sglodion) wedi cael eu cydnabod.1/2

Soil health is another issue that needs to be resolved quickly, not just for the sake of farmers and rivers.
Declining soil quality across Wales and England is estimated to cost £1.2bn each year.

Welsh river running brown due to excessive soil loss in its catchment.
Good soil health = lower risk of erosion.
Sadly, we have again witnessed scenes of soil washing into rivers this winter, smothering river gravels and bringing all kinds of pollutants with it.

In November, the Economy, Trade and Rural Affairs Committee produced a report on soil health in Wales.
Amongst other things, it raised concerns about what soil-improving incentives were in place for tenant farmers and those farms choosing to remain outside the Sustainable Farming Scheme.

It’s interesting to see that there will be another Senedd debate on Welsh soil health on Wednesday.
This follows a research paper published last week: bit.ly/4a6QBjk
An important issue in its own right, soil is also critical to the health of rivers.

Mae iechyd pridd yn fater arall sydd angen ei ddatrys yn gyflym, nid yn unig er budd ffermwyr a afonydd.
Amcangyfrifir y bydd gostyngiad ansawdd pridd ar draws Cymru a Lloegr yn costio £1.2bn y flwyddyn.

Iach y ddaear dda = llai o berygl erydiad.
Yn anffodus, rydym wedi bod yn dyst i olygfeydd o bridd yn llifo i afonydd eleni'r gaeaf eto, gan orchuddio graeanau afonydd ac yn dod â phob math o llygryddion gyda nhw.

Ym mis Tachwedd, cynhyrchodd y Pwyllgor Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig adroddiad ar iechyd pridd yng Nghymru.
Cododd bryderon ynghylch pa ysgogiadau gwella pridd oedd ar waith i ffermwyr tenant a'r rheini sy'n dewis aros y tu allan i'r Cynllun Ffermio Cynaliadwy.

Mae'n ddiddorol gweld y bydd dadl arall yn y Senedd ar iechyd pridd Cymru ddydd Mercher.
Mae hyn yn dilyn papur ymchwil a gyhoeddwyd wythnos diwethaf:

Mater pwysig yn ei hun, mae pridd hefyd yn hanfodol i iechyd afonydd.

Could “Bridges to the Future” be a sign that NRW are moving in the right direction?
It could be.
However, we have seen this kind of evidence and expressed intent before. Actions speak louder than words and actions are what this initiative will be judged on ultimately.
4/4
The regulator claims that systemic change is needed if Wales’s natural resources are to be safeguarded and that incremental improvements are no longer enough.
And NRW’s CEO stated in SoNaRR that “What we need now is the will to act, and to do so boldly and decisively.”
3/4
It follows the publication of the latest ‘State of Natural Resources Report (SoNaRR)’, a comprehensive stock take of Wales’s environment.
NRW are setting out what they call “....a bold, practical framework for action......designed to transform the systems that shape everyday life.”

We often call for Government and its agencies to do more and move faster when it comes to the restoration and protection of river health.
Today we are at the launch event of Natural Resources Wales’s ‘Bridges to the Future’ Initiative.
