Make it stand out

Lle mae’r pŵer yn eistedd?

Where does the power lie?

Rydym wedi bod yn gofyn i bobl ble maen nhw’n meddwl bod y pŵer, mewn perthynas â dŵr croyw yn nyffrynnoedd Conwy. Dyma'r atebion a gawsom hyd yn hyn

We have been asking people where they think the power lies, in relation to freshwater in the Conwy valleys. These are the answers we’ve received so far

Natur // nature

  • Rainfall has the most power life giving and destructive

  • Mother Nature- she is everything.The world is her belonging and we're just visitors

  • Natur // nature

  • Within the water

  • weather / nature

  • gravity / slope

  • the river

  • Climate

Land owners

  • 75% of Wales is farmland the power lives with the land owners to heal the river by stopping pollution

  • land owners

  • RWE

  • Landowners: quality of water

Humans (us)

  • I think that humans have the power to shape rivers

  • we have the power we are the ones that will change the world

  • us we're the people who can make the rivers better cleaner and happier

  • with people our actions and our voices heard

  • we all have power the power of 1 can escalate up to higher levels if we all get together

  • Politics

  • Those who control water: political 

  • Political power

Combination

  • Hierarchy of control: landowner / Govt. / Agencies / Water Companies / Climate

  • Landowners (access) - Government (quality) - Quangos (enforce quality) - Water supply companies (quality and quantity) - weather / climate

  • Statutory bodies (local / national government, Dwr Cymru, NRW) and individual responsibility not to litter, pollute etc. 

  • industry, water companies, government, farmers

  • government agencies / land owners

  • nature – power – people

  • nature but we are impacting nature

  • impact on climate from human behaviour

  • To the companies and local government

  • local government. the people

  • Dwr Cymru, UK government, mother earth

  • when there is an overlap between government and local residents will to action or in action

  • Government Agencies / Landowners

Not sure

  • who has the power? I don't really know is it down to us or should we have to rely on the ineffective statutory bodies to address any problems

  • the power always lies with the people… or does it?

  • this question has really got me thinking I'm really not sure but maybe the river, maybe water companies may be angling clubs maybe farmers maybe land owners maybe

  • with all the dams and now being made aware of the consequences of this think people seem to think they have the power may the river fight back

    Other

  • Where does the power lie? ultimately God

  • Air quality
