The Welsh government said it was "working with partners to monitor the levels of water bodies" and the drought liaison group would "continue to meet regularly to share situational updates, and to ensure water supplies are effectively managed and our environment is protected".A nature reserve's founder would not recognise it today as it has been "completely transformed" in the 50 years since it opened, its current manager has said.Washington Wetland Centre, near Sunderland, welcomed visitors for the first time on 29 May 1975.
