While fountains may appear easy to install, Jones says they can have their problems. “They clog much easier than ponds,” he says. “The water in most fountain systems evaporates very quickly and if people don’t keep an eye on them the pump runs dry.”

To reach to the conclusion, scientists observed the feeding patterns of people and their response to natural events at their feeders by collaborating with Project FeederWatch, a program managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology that engages more than 25,000 people to observe and collect data on their backyard birds.

Workers now can more easily gain access to the fountains through a series of subterranean service tunnels, which are located beneath the water features and connect the two pump rooms.

Botanic Gardens are important research centers working at the forefront of plant resilience as climate change impacts environments globally, says Joy Columbus, the organization’s vice president of horticulture. Broadening the palette locally might also extend survival options for endangered plants from faraway places. (Although invasive species need not apply.)

Disney could technically lay claim to the Florida coaster title in 2021. Roller Coaster Database classifies the twin-tracked Primeval Whirl at Disney’s Animal Kingdom as two separate coasters. That would therefore hand the title to Disney with 11 coasters and an asterix in the record books.

Decades later, while living in a rural setting in upstate New York and approaching retirement as a geologist, my long-dormant interest was rekindled by treks through the neighboring woods. By now I knew that stone walls in New England and New York are iconic vestiges from a time when farmers, in order to plant crops and graze livestock, needed to clear the land of stones. Tons and tons of granite had been deposited throughout the region during the last glaciation that ended about 10,000 years ago. By the late 1800s, nearly 170,000 subsistence farming families had built an estimated 246,000 miles of stone walls across the Northeast. But by then, the Industrial Revolution had already started to contribute to the widespread abandonment of these farms in the northeastern United States. They were overgrown by forests within a few decades.

It’s all personal taste, of course, but considering an investment can range from about $100 to several thousand dollars for a water fountain, it’s best to plan before buying, the Rufenachts said.
