Like no other feature in the garden, a small pond of water lilies, cattails and Japanese Koi can transform and ordinary outdoor living space into an oasis. Ancient Egyptians and Far Eastern cultures were of the first to develop water gardens in the landscape. It was common to find lotus plants, papyrus, water lilies and other aquatic plants used to accent and focus on man’s relationship with nature. Since that time, Europeans have traditionally incorporated water gardens into the landscape and used Roman and Greek statuary to create formal pools and spectacular fountains such as those found at Tivoli Gardens in Rome and Versailles in France. Still a common practice in European countries, water gardens are finding a place in American gardens today. Fast becoming a favorite hobby for experienced and beginning gardeners, a water garden can be quite sophisticated with a series of waterfalls and pond levels, as interesting as a single 3 to 4 foot pool in the corner of the yard, or as simple as a half wooden barrel filled with floating plants and small water lilies. Installation of a Water Garden The most popular type of water garden installed today uses a synthetic liner to form the sides and bottom. There is very little time involved in installing this type water garden because these materials are lightweight, portable and adaptable to a variety of shapes and sizes. However, for one which will give years of enjoyment you will need to begin by making some careful plans.

  • Back to Nature Natural Reef Aquarium Methodology by Mike Paletta (Aquarium USA 2000 Annual)
    Back To Nature Natural Reef Aquarium Methodology by Mike Paletta (Aquarium USA 2000 annual) The reef hobby, that part of the aquarium hobby that has arguably experienced the most change, is ironically also an example of the axiom that the more things change the more they remain the same. During the past 10 years we have seen almost constant change in reefkeeping practices, and, in many instances, complete reversal of opinions as to which techniques or practices are the best. We have gone from not feeding our corals directly to feeding them, from using some type of substrate to none at all and then back again, and, finally, we have run the full gamut from using a lot of technology to little or none. It is this last change, commonly referred to as the "back to nature" or natural approach, that many hobbyists are now choosing to follow. Advocates of natural methodologies have been around since the 1960s, when the first "reefkeeper," Lee Chin Eng, initiated many of the concepts and techniques that are fundamental to successful reefkeeping. Mr. Eng lived near the ocean in Indonesia and used many of the materials that were readily available to him from this source. "Living stones," which have come to be known as live rock, were used in his systems as the main source of biological filtration. He also used natural seawater and changed it on a regular basis. His tanks were situated so they would receive several hours of direct sunlight each day, which kept them well illuminated. The only technology he used was a small air pump, which bubbled slowly into the tank.

  • Integrated Irrigation and Aquaculture in West Africa: Concepts, Practices and Potential
    CCOVEROVER [[Converted].aiConverted].ai 33-03-2006-03-2006 12:21:2012:21:20 INTEGRATED IRRIGATION AND AQUACULTURE INWESTAFRICA—Concepts,practicesandpotential ANDAQUACULTURE IRRIGATION INTEGRATED FAO This volume contains background documents and papers presented at the FAO-WARDA Workshop on Integrated Irrigation Aquaculture (IIA) held in Bamako, Mali, from 4 to 7 November 2003, as well as the findings of FAO expert missions on IIA in the West Africa region. The rationale for IIA development lies in its potential to increase productivity of scarce freshwater resources for improved livelihoods and to reduce pressure on natural resources, which is particularly important in the drought-prone countries of West Africa where water scarcity, food security and environmental degradation are priority issues for policy-makers. Irrigated systems, floodplains and inland valley bottoms are identified as C the three main target environments for IIA in West Africa. Many examples M of current practices, constraints and potential for development of IIA are Y provided. The concepts of economic analyses of IIA are reviewed, and an CM overview of regional and international research institutions and networks MY CY and their mandates as they relate to IIA is given. Key factors for successful CMY adoption of IIA – participation of stakeholders and support for local K development, an integrated, multisectoral approach to IIA and improved knowledge management and networking – indicate the way forward and are reflected in a proposal for IIA development in West Africa.

  • Aquacultue OPEN COURSE: NOTES PART 1
    OPEN COURSE AQ5 D01 ORNAMENTAL FISH CULTURE GENERAL INTRODUCTION An aquarium is a marvelous piece of nature in an enclosed space, gathering the attraction of every human being. It is an amazing window to the fascinating underwater world. The term ‘aquarium’is a derivative of two words in Latin, i.e aqua denoting ‘water’ and arium or orium indicating ‘compartment’. Philip Henry Gosse, an English naturalist, was the first person to actually use the word "aquarium", in 1854 in his book The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea. In this book, Gosse primarily discussed saltwater aquaria. Aquarium or ornamental fish keeping has grown from the status of a mere hobby to a global industry capable of generating international exchequer at considerable levels. History shows that Romans have kept aquaria (plural for ‘aquarium’) since 2500 B.C and Chinese in 1278-960 B.C. But they used aquaria primarily for rearing and fattening of food fishes. Chinese developed the art of selective breeding in carp and goldfish, probably the best known animal for an aquarium. Ancient Egyptians were probably the first to keep the fish for ornamental purpose. World’s first public aquarium was established in Regents Park in London in 1853. Earlier only coldwater fishes were kept as pets as there was no practical system of heating which is required for tropical freshwater fish. The invention of electricity opened a vast scope of development in aquarium keeping. The ease of quick transportation and facilities for carting in temperature controlled packaging has broadened the horizon for this hobby.

  • Subsurface Drip Irrigation Why Choose a Netafim Drip Irrigation System?
    SUBSURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION WHY CHOOSE A NETAFIM DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM? Pioneered by Netafim in 1965, drip irrigation is an established irrigation technology that delivers water and nutrients directly to the plant root zone, minimizing waste and improving crop performance. For decades, drip irrigation has been used as a proven method for watering high-value vegetable crops, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that drip irrigation expanded to larger scale use in row crops. Since 1995 over 30 billion feet of dripline has been installed into row crop fields in the United States. The success of drip irrigation has been attributed to many factors. The primary reason has been the evolution of equipment developed during the past 20 years - advanced equipment that allows a grower with little or no experience to succeed. WHAT IS DRIP IRRIGATION? Drip irrigation is more than an irrigation method, it is a management tool that allows producers to apply the precise amount of water directly to the root zone, to improve control of fertilizer application, eliminate run-off and evaporation and drive consistently higher yields through improved plant health. With a subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system, driplines are buried below the soil surface enabling water and nutrients to easily reach each plant’s root zone. WHAT CAN DRIP IRRIGATION DO FOR MY FARM? As a field management tool, drip irrigation gives the grower control over the root zone environment of crops. Growers worldwide are experiencing the numerous benefits of drip irrigation both in the field and
