Having the main sized correctly is the BEST start to any drainage project.

Good water management starts before the first pipe goes in the ground. Elevation maps help identify where your mains and laterals belong and to calculate how big they need to be.

Sizing your main right from the start means you've built something that drains for decades, with room for expansion.

Out past Fowler, Indiana, where Benton County's cornfields run flat to the horizon, the sunrise now catches something new: rows of turbines stretching as far as the fields themselves. 🌾💨 It's not the Indiana most people picture, but it's very much Indiana today.

Fowler Ridge Wind Farm went up starting in 2008, eventually growing to 355 turbines and 600 megawatts of capacity, making it one of the largest wind farms in the state. Keeping all of that running takes technicians who climb hundreds of feet up a tower before the sun is even fully up, checking blades, gearboxes, and control systems on machines that never really stop.

There's something fitting about it happening in Benton County specifically, farmland that's always found a way to put the wind to work, whether that meant windmills pumping water a century ago or turbines feeding the grid today. The view from up there, cornfields and turbines both catching the first light, is one most Hoosiers never get to see.

Did you grow up near a wind farm, or do you remember when the first turbines started going up in your part of the state?

Busy as a Beaver 🦫!

Deep inside Canada’s Wood Buffalo National Park, generations of beavers built a dam so enormous that researchers first recognized its full scale from satellite imagery.

Landscape ecologist Jean Thie discovered it in 2007 while studying northern Canada with Google Earth and older Landsat images.

He measured it at 2,790 feet long.

That is more than half a mile.

Historical satellite images indicated beaver activity there by the 1970s, with the structure developing as successive colonies altered the same remote wetland.

The location helped it endure. The dam sits among wetlands, muskeg and dense boreal forest, far from roads or maintained trails.

It also transformed the landscape.

Parks Canada estimates the pond covers roughly 70,000 square metres and contains about 70,000 cubic metres of water.

Modern Parks Canada measurements put the dam’s main front at approximately 775 metres, while the entire dam area has a perimeter approaching two kilometres.

A structure assembled stick by stick became a landscape feature large enough for satellites to document from orbit.
