Nant-y-fendrod, often known simply as the Fendrod, is a small stream near Swansea in South Wales. It is a tributary of the River Tawe, and has two tributaries, the Nant Bran and the Nant-y-Ffin. It is 2.6 miles (4.2 km) long, and rises in the flood plain of the River Tawe, at an elevation of around 98 feet (30 m). The stream is heavily polluted, with levels of zinc and cadmium exceeding acceptable levels, as a result of past metal processing which took place in the area. It has been used to test the use of water hyacinth as a way of removing metals from the water, and the research will inform the use of such methods for river quality remediation in the United Kingdom and Europe.
