The Otonabee conservation authority is asking residents in its eight-member municipalities — including Peterborough — to reduce their water consumption by 10 per cent.
This comes after the authority issued a Level 1 low-water condition for its entire watershed recently, due to lower-than-normal rain levels logged over the last three months.

The Toronto Zoo is committed to improving environmental sustainability, reducing our carbon footprint, and investigating conservation efforts in new and innovative ways. This year, we have installed floating wetlands on one of our ponds behind the Snow Leopard Habitat. Run-off of nutrients, contaminants, petroleum products and organic materials often seep into all types of freshwater bodies, threatening the health of ecosystems.
However, when we harness the natural ability of plants and microbes to absorb nutrients and break down contaminants, floating wetlands can improve water quality and ecosystem health.

From the rock face towering over Pass Lake, 50 kilometres outside Thunder Bay, a sharp-eyed climber can catch a glimpse of a very different kind of world: a sprawling 69-hectare property home to a beef herd of short-horned cattle, some oxen and chickens, and rotating crops of vegetables. Sleepy G Farm, owned by Marcelle Paulin and her husband, Brendan Grant, is “carved right out of the woods” just outside the city, Paulin says.

The 466,000-square-kilometre Muskoka watershed offers spectacular boating of every type — except when it is flooding.
Spring snowmelts and heavy rains have resulted in disastrous floods in recent years. From conversations with locals, there seems to be much confusion as to what is being done to correct the problem. So I did some digging to discover answers.

A key question for climate scientists in recent years has been whether the Atlantic Ocean’s main circulation system is slowing down, a development that could have dramatic consequences for Europe and other parts of the Atlantic rim. But a new study suggests help may be on the way from an unexpected source — the Indian Ocean.
Think of it as ocean-to-ocean altruism in the age of climate change.

What is the chemical composition of the Earth’s interior? Because it is impossible to drill more than about ten kilometres deep into the Earth, volcanic rocks formed by melting Earth’s deep interior often provide such information. Geochemists at the Universities of Münster (Germany) and Amsterdam (Netherlands) have investigated the volcanic rocks that build up the Portuguese island group of the Azores.

When a powerful earthquake struck Sulawesi, Indonesia last year, something terrifying happened near the coastal city of Palu: an entire chunk of the ground turned to liquid, swallowing roads, cars, and hundreds to thousands of homes.
This phenomenon, known as liquefaction, occurs when wet, loosely-packed soil loses its structural integrity due to a sudden shock like an earthquake. Engineers typically rely on brute-force methods to mitigate its effects — fortifying structures with stone columns and grout; banging the ground with heavy weights.
