Resurrecting The Old Boy should have been easy -- just a tug on a linewith some body weight. But the ship's 38-foot mast was stuck in the lake's clay bottom and crew members were diving below to retrieve hoisting lines tangled around its mast. Nearly an hour passed before the efforts of five passing boats succeeded. As the sail surfaced, the crew realized another problem: due to taught lines, the sail wasn't going to flap in the breeze but ratherbillow and take the unmanned boat for a ride, crashing into a ferry not far away. Raif Richardson, a 20-something deckhand, was holding on to a line that was attached to the top of the mast. He treaded water as far away from the boat as the line allowed. As the mast flung into the air it pulled Richardson through the water until he was swinging ...
Settlement of soil around foundations and under concrete steps, sidewalks, & driveways is a normal occurrence due to erosion and other normal forces of nature. Building up the soil in these areas is critical to maintaining a dry basement, especially in older homes. The majority of minor moisture intrusion situations that I see in basements is directly attributable to a combination of poor grading and damaged or improperly routed downspouts. This is partially due to the property of our notorious Red River Valley clay that allows it to compact and shed surface water when properly sloped. The downside of this is that the soil will also shrink when dry and may leave gaps along the foundation that can channel water toward the foundation walls. This is most prevalent under concrete steps,...
Government officials, and even some of our own people, thought we were overreacting," said Steinhauer. "But I knew it was just a matter of time before people would come to see we had struck upon the truth. While others dismissed Steinhauer, Cardinal listened to him intently and formed questions in his mind. "If, at one time, cancer was unheard of in Indian Country, why are there so many rare types among us now?" Cardinal wondered. "We are a small community, yet why are so many of us sick from these unusual types of disease?" "We have a pilot project in place now, but this takes it to the next level," said Steinhauer. "It's a unique approach to treating raw surface water, and not only could it mean safe drinking water for Canada's First Nations, countries like India, Pakistan and Afgha...
For over 100 years, Lake Winnipeg and Lake Manitoba have been home to Manitoba's commercial fishery. The majority of the fishery's production is sold out of the country and represents over $30 million annually for Manitoba's economy -- a significant contribution. About two-thirds of this amount is generated by the commercial fishery on Lake Winnipeg. Over 1,000 licensed fishers are employed on this lake, harvesting a variety of species including pickerel, goldeye, sauger and whitefish. Several smaller lakes in southern and northern Manitoba are also fished commercially, including Southern Indian Lake. Rising temperatures could benefit warm-water species such as walleye, yellow perch and white bass by creating conditions that promote the growth of offspring better able to survive throug...

That's because, thankfully, it won't be too much longer until most of [Glen Dudeck]'s fellow residents in Tyndall and the nearby community of Garson will be able to say the same thing. Don Rocan, manager of Manitoba Water Stewardship's office of drinking water, said that's because while residents on the treated system will be OK, others in the area who rely on wells have to boil their water because the water coming out of the wells is still contaminated. Rocan said it's because the communities sit on top of limestone that has cracks in it that allow potentially polluted surface water to drain into the aquifer, which isn't too far underground.
During an average year, 1.14 million cubic metres of raw sewage spills into the city's rivers. That's about the same volume of fluid it takes to fill 40 Olympic-size swimming pools, which only accounts for one per cent of all the waste water generated by Winnipeg. All the sewage that spills into the rivers represents only a small portion of the nutrient loading that's changing Lake Winnipeg. According to the Lake Winnipeg Stewardship Board, the outflows represent 0.2 per cent of the lake's annual intake of phosphorus and nitrogen, two fertilizers that threaten Manitoba's largest lake. Raw sewage spills into Winnipeg's rivers 22 times in an average year. Most of these outflows occur when intense summer downpours overwhelm combined sewers, which are pipes carrying both waste water and sur...

That is the general trend of the population in this country," said Glen Koroluk, coordinator of the Eco-Network's water caucus. "For good reason too, because there's a thirsty nation just south of us. "While water is not necesarily the top item of negotiation, and at times is dormant as an issue, it is there," the report continued. "In the long-term agenda within the context of freer trade and increased North American integration, Canada's water is up for grabs. As long as its status as a negotiable resource remains unclear, pressure to access Canada's water will grow ever stronger." "The U.S., in particular, faces a complicated and looming water crisis," said the U of T report, basing its position on U.S. federal documents. "Its population is rapidly growing in arid regions where sur...

A copy of the proposed working design for the new aquatics area obtained by the Brandon Sun details construction of a six-lane, 25-metre-long by 2.1-metre-deep lap pool, a 340-square-metre leisure pool with water features, two 30-person hot tubs and a sauna and steam room area. "If the city is growing, why are we looking at retracting our water space?," Fay asked.However, Sholdice says that's not quite accurate, as the $5 million in municipal funding for the aquatics centre is contingent on a promise that there be no net loss in water surface space.
For those who like pike action, the cold weather has made for an inconsistent bite in shallow water. A lot depends on surface water temperature at this time of the year and with cold winds, there are few areas that have been significantly warmer than other spots. If you do find such an area with warmer surface water temperatures you will find fish. For those anglers who like to fish a variety of trout species, this unseasonal weather will prolong the algae blooms on our shallow prairie lakes, meaning a lot longer period of good shallow water fishing. Lake trout in our southern waters will stay shallow right up until the water temperatures start to climb in the 12-C range.
