TIPS, IDEAS, AND PIECES OF INTEREST Archived Databases- Thanks to the good folks at the U.S. National Archives & Records Administration (NARA), Internet users can access hundreds of data files containing millions of records. This site is a must- search for the serious researcher, genealogist, or snoop. Be sure to click the "Getting Started" link before you -- well, before you get started, because accessing the database can be a bit confusing at first. http://aad.archives.gov/aad/index.jsp Bioengineering for Erosion Control and Aesthetic Appeal (Landscape Design/Build, May 30, 2006). “Using live plantings to control erosion and stabilize shorelines is not a new concept. In fact, the technique can be traced as far back as 28 BC in China where there are accounts of people planting willow sprigs on the banks of dikes and streams to help repair and prevent erosion. Today, the technique is gaining more attention as a cost effective method for not only keeping accelerated levels of sediment from entering our streams and lakes, but also for using the plants as elements of the design that provide aesthetic beauty and ecological diversity to the landscape…When developing a planting plan for a bioengineering project, it is essential to understand the potential water fluctuation scenarios and also to select plants that will thrive under the conditions…However, it is important to understand both the hydrological conditions of the site and the hydrologic requirements of the plants that are going to be used.” To read the entire article, visit http://www.landscapedesignbuild.com/ldb/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=327669.
