The Wye & Usk Foundation believes that over-abstraction is adversely affecting the fisheries of the River Usk.Welsh Water’s main abstractions are from Usk, Crai and Talybont reservoirs in the upper valley, and from around Usk town to Llandegfedd reservoir and Court Farm treatment works. In addition, BritishWaterways take water for the Brecon canal from the main river at Brecon and from several tributaries.
