Nant-y-moch Reservoir is sitated in the Cambrian Mountains in northern Ceredigion, Wales. The reservoir which flooded a part of the valley of the River Rheidol and its headwaters derives its name from a stream, the Nant-y-moch (in English = the pig stream,), which formerly flowed into the River Rheidol at this spot. The dam is about three miles north of the village of Ponterwyd.
The reservoir forms part of the Cwm Rheidol hydroelectric power scheme and the headwaters of the reservoir include the source of the River Rheidol. The Nant-y-moch component of the hydroelectric scheme has an installed capacity of 13Mw generated as the water from Nant-y-moch enters Dinas Reservoir
