To keep rainwater out, a landfill has a storm drainage system to route the runoff into drainage ditches and away from the buried trash. Other parts of the system include concrete, plastic or metal culverts underneath nearby roads and stormwater basins, which can reduce the suspended sediment in...
When trying to conserve water in your garden, mulch is one of your best friends. It reduces evaporation, holds water in place to prevent runoff and lowers the soil temperature for better root absorption [source: Lamp'l. Now, it's time to water. How to Water without Waste: ...
Urban forests provide critical ecosystem services to humans, and, as in other systems, invertebrates are central to structuring and maintaining the functioning of urban forests. Identifying the role of invertebrates in urban forests can help elucidate their importance to practitioners and the public, ...
To make it harder for weeds to grow: Seedlings are smothered by the mulch layer and without light, some seeds won’t germinate at all. To keep moisture in: Mulch helps prevent evaporation, so you won’t have to water as often. To retain warmth and regulate soil temperature: Mulch offers...
like pollution and increasing ocean temperatures. Overall, the longterm health of the marine ecosystem in West Maui is unclear, and marine researchers will continue their quest to understand how the corals were affected and attempt to prevent runoff contaminated with toxins from rushin...
Flooding in Kenya is caused by a combination of factors including seasonal rains, inadequate drainage systems, and the effects of climate change. Urban areas, with their impervious surfaces and often haphazard development, suffer significantly due to poor water management systems....
Elise Pickett, urban homesteader and the owner of The Urban Harvest, a Florida gardening education resource and seed club, says starting small makes the garden a point of enjoyment rather than a chore. "Pick one bed or space to get started and just three to five types of plants," ...
