Steve and Linda Kovacs of Waterscene are returning to Uganda January 15 to assist with two vital projects to help supply ophanages with sustainable fresh water systems.
While you may hate bidding adieu to the long, sunny days of summer, you have to face the inevitable approach of cooler, shorter days. For pond owners across the country, what you do with your pond during this seasonal transition depends largely on where you live.

With summertime temps reaching their peak, it’s a good idea to make sure your pond isn’t becoming troublesome. Once the water temperature rises above 80 degrees, you could run into problems. Here are some helpful tips.
When you installed your pond, you hopefully designed it so the waterfall faces the viewing area, such as a patio or deck. Similarly, when you plan the aquatic or terrestrial plantings in and around your pond, you should have the same point of view in mind. You want to create maximum appreciation for the pond so it looks its best from the most important view on the property.
An ecosystem pond works with Mother Nature to provide food, shelter, and safety to the wildlife around it. It also provides you with an all-natural, low-maintenance piece of paradise.
Koi varieties are numerous, and each year new colors and patterns are cultivated – very similar to the way nurseries produce new varieties of flowers to pique the consumer’s interest and pocketbooks. Koi are no different.
In November 2010, Waterscene’s Steve and Linda Kovacs were part of a team of 15 taking part in a fourth trip to Uganda, to help provide an infrastructure for sustainable fresh water to this thirsty region.
