Naturalising a Stream at Bedlinog Building with Nature Case Study Slowing the flow at Nant Llwynog; reducing flooding and erosion, whilst improving a public amenity. Constant flooding and erosion had been causing some serious problems for Merthyr Tydfil Council who manage this old reclaimed tip site, close to the village of Bedlinog in the Taff Bargoed Valley. The Nant Llwynog collects water from the mountains surrounding the site, the concrete lined channel, which was also straightened, brought the water through the site at high speed and in large volumes. The public footpath alongside the stream would regularly flood and sections had been washed away by the flooding.
