Dylife Mine is located 13km northwest of Llanidloes, Powys, on the mountain road to Machynlleth. It has been identified as a major source of metals to the Afon Dyfi catchment and is responsible for the Afon Twymyn failing to achieve European Water Framework Directive standards for zinc, lead and cadmium.

Mae Mwynglawdd segur Wemyss ryw 15km i'r de-ddwyrain o Aberystwyth, Ceredigion. Mae wedi ei leoli ar ben dyffryn Cwmnewydion, un o lednentydd Afon Magwr, sy'n ymuno ag Afon Ystwyth yn Abermagwr.
