"Earthbound Endeavors" by Anthony Archer Wills Devising watershapes to appear as though nature made them, says Anthony Archer Wills, requires both careful planning and expert execution — especially when the project is on a grand scale, as is the case with the one covered here. In this, his second article on a huge pond/stream/waterfall complex, he details the painstaking process he pursued in building a EPDM-lined system that is nearly 3,000 feet long and includes caves and other intricate custom details. |

"Radiant History" by Paolo Benedetti On a recent trip to Spain, Paolo Benedetti and his family took a side-trip to Portugal and happened on some Roman ruins that opened his eyes to a whole new set of possibilities. In this most unusual "Solutions' piece, Benedetti describes his encounters with the technologies used to heat an ancient residential indoor swimming pool, as well as a collection of pools that made up the public-bath system for a seaside outpost of the Roman Empire. |

"Refreshing the Supply" by Eric Herman In summer 2008, Southern California's Orange County Water District unveiled its Ground Water Replenishment System, the world's largest water-treatment facility dedicated solely to producing pure water to resupply the county's beleaguered groundwater reserves.

Here, Wolff and Copley discuss their firm's involvement in developing these much-welcomed spaces. |
