[No title] Sailing and the Weather at Pond Inlet, NWT, Canada 1989 by Gail E. Ferris The Arctic and all it's unknowns was as exciting as I could possibly hope to imagine. From this information and my kayaking experience, the Pond Inlet area seemed to me to be an area in which I could expect to launch and paddle a kayak with relative ease and encounter reasonable currents. As I was leaving Pond Inlet for my paddle to Milne Inlet, where I was hoping to see the large numbers of game, most especially the Narwhal, which suckle their young there and possibly the Beluga, I noticed that there was only a light wind of about five to ten knots at my back. www.guillemot-kayaks.com /Trips/Gail/GailTrips/SailingatPondInlet.txt   (2685 words)

Filtration system for ponds - Patent 5584991 An additional drawback of using the pond as landscaping is that leaves and other foliage fall onto the surface of the pond, and unless cleaned from the pond, this matter settles to the bottom.

Excavated Pond Construction in Florida Excavated ponds which are supplied by surface runoff should be located in natural depressions, in broad natural drainage swales or paths, or to one side of the drainage swales where the runoff can be diverted into the pond. If the pond is constructed in or near a natural drainage swale, excess runoff from a full pond may be discharged through natural drainage paths and construction of a spillway may not be necessary. To perform this test water is added to the pond area as needed to saturate the soil in the surrounding area, and then the falling water level of the pond in the absence of added water is observed and used to determine permeability. edis.ifas.ufl.edu /AE013   (3150 words)

Coastal Salt Ponds - Critical Habitats of Cape Cod (The Woods Hole Research Center) A coastal salt pond is a shallow marine embayment that receives freshwater inflow from groundwater entering the head of the pond, and saltwater inflow through an inlet from the sea. When the inlet is closed for a long period of time there will be large-scale die offs among the plant and animal communities, and massive decay will give off unpleasant odors and make the pond unsightly. When the pond is reopened by a breach in the barrier beach the organisms adapted to the fresher water conditions will then die off due to the increasing salinity levels. www.whrc.org /capecod/critical_habitats/Coastal_Salt_Ponds.htm   (310 words)

Pump inlet - Printable Version As background, this new waterfall and pond was scratch-built rather than a kit, so I am learning the axiom: measure twice, cut once.

My Arctic Experience at Pond Inlet as a Sea Kayaker My friends decided that they would prefer to head back to Pond Inlet with some extra days available in case of poor weather, which was a good idea. Later upon consulting with a meteorologist at Pond Inlet, Hermann Steltner, he said that this does happen in this particular area.  As we worked our way down the coast, hugging the cock cliffs to avoid as much as possible the inevitable exposure to this fierce wind. Then I noticed something out of context.  The leading boat was making for a landing at the base of a tumultuous cascading waterfall, which had a tiny area just large enough for landing a kayak one at a time. www.guillemot-kayaks.com /Trips/Gail/89PondInlet.htm   (1812 words)
