Fairly easy to design install and build, Garden ponds add a little extra interest to any garden. If it be for fish, water lilies or just for the aesthetics a well designed pond in any landscaping project adds value as well as being a calming addition to the garden. You can build you own pond either using using pond liners, or preformed garden ponds.

Some local council regulations may need to be met before building a garden pond. A successful pond will be deep enough to allow plants and fish to have cool water, water flow is also essential to maintain a healthy garden pond.

Rocks and Foliage at the edge of a Garden Pond add a finishing touch (Foliage is a low growing or 'prostrate' conifer)

Correct design is the secret of how to build a pond. A well designed water garden or pond adds a tranquil feature to your home and can add value to your property.

From a simple stand alone unit, a pre cast pond or a waterfall, stream and pond combined a few factors need to be considered.

Garden ponds are a great feature in any garden, and when you use specialist garden pond liners and provide shade for you pond by using appropriate garden plants water loss from garden ponds and other water features through seepage can be minimized. Ponds kits are readily available, these include preformed garden ponds made from UV stabilized PVC or similar products. A waterfall flowing into a garden pond is another element to consider adding to your garden pond design. Fountains can be another very worthwhil e feature in any garden pond.

All you need to create a stream is a gentle slope and access to electricity for a pump to circulate the water, storm water can be captured from your roof and stored in a tank to feed or top up the stream.

A United States marine sweeps for land mines in the Helmand Province of southern Afghanistan on Sept. 7, 2011.

The United States government doesn't want to destroy its land mines just yet, and the reason comes down to this: Mines can be useful.

On Friday, during a conference in Maputo, Mozambique, U.S. officials announced that the country's military will no longer acquire anti-personnel mines. It will also take steps to join a 1997 international treaty banning the devices.

Historically, the U.S. has at times appeared reluctant to become one of the treaty's 161 adherents. Other countries that have not ratified the document include North Korea, Iran and Russia.

Warring military factions often lay land mines across fields to deter their enemies. Those mines sometimes remain in place long after conflicts are over, often exploding when an unsuspecting civilian steps on one. They've killed at least 88,200 people since 1999. However, the number of deaths per year has dropped from around 26,000 to 4,000 since the treaty was introduced, according to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines.

Mines have proven in the past to be an extremely effective defense mechanism," Anthony Cordesman, an expert on U.S. defense plans at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Mashable. That's one of the reasons the U.S. wants to keep its stockpile.
