Elan

River rising in Powys, central Wales, and joining the Wye south of Rhayader. Four dams have been built on this river to form reservoirs for the city of Birmingham. On the River Claerwen, a tributary of the Elan, one of the highest gravity dams in Great Britain (height 56 m/183 ft, length 355 m/1,165 ft) has been constructed to create another reservoir.
