As Earth Day approaches on April 22nd, it’s a time to reflect on the actions we can take to protect the environment. One of the most critical elements of environmental health is water—a resource we often take for granted but are entirely dependent on. This Earth Day, we are highlighting the essential role water conservation plays in maintaining the health of our planet. The Link Between Water and Environmental Health Water is foundational to life on Earth. It nourishes our ecosystems, supports agriculture, powers industries, and is essential to human survival. But the pressures of population growth, climate change, and over-extraction are making it harder to [...]

Reservoirs are more than just scenic bodies of water – they’re a vital part of our local infrastructure. In today’s local feature, we’re taking a closer look at Scar House Reservoir and its critical role in regulating the water supply to the community. The Importance of Scar House Reservoir Scar House Reservoir is a large water storage facility, primarily used for maintaining a steady supply of water throughout the region. But its significance goes beyond just storage; it is also essential for flow regulation. In times of heavy rainfall or drought, the reservoir ensures that water is released in controlled amounts, maintaining [...]
