a mortar that was very hard and we are going to replace that with lime mortar. surveying the earlier work at the time was 18 year old richard woodman bailey. his father was the chief architect, and young richard concealed a coin within the stones. today, 63 years on, despite being older and wiser, he will do the same again with a £2 coin, struck specially for the occasion by the royal mint. it s a real honour for me to be able to do this today. over 60 years has passed, and to find it s something that s been remembered and has been recorded, in fact, is happening, to be able now, as they are going to be doing some further minor repairs to some of the stones this year, to follow up that 1958 coin with a 2021 britannia £2 coin, is really a great honour indeed. repairing, restoring, conserving
repairs to some of the stones this year, to follow up that 1958 coin with a 2021 britannia £2 coin, is really a great honour indeed. repairing, restoring, conserving there are subtle differences. and at this world heritage site everything is tightly controlled. after all, they are working in the footsteps of giants. they may not have used phrases like structural engineer or architect ii,500 years ago, but they were very clever people. on top of each pillar there s a tenonjoint, that bit of rock that you can see sticking up. they would then go inside this mortise hole. so the lintels would have sat on top of the pillars. we think this one was never actually placed on top of the pillar. we don t know why. as with so much in stonehenge, it remains a mystery. with our changing climate,
water sources as integrated. we need to re-use waste water whenever possible. we don t have to necessarily drink it, but we can re-use it and treat it to levels that are suitable for agriculture and for a lot of manufacturing activities. we also need to look where appropriate at desalination. it may be an appropriate option in certain places but we re going to have to address the problems of cost and public acceptability. these are things that we will have to think much harder about than with we have i think in the recent past. we look at these problems as technological. we need to look at them as people problems. the other thing we can also be doing is very serious efforts at greater conservation. we ve done a pretty good job in the west of conserving. but we re going to have to do an even better job. we re going to have to think about our landscaping patterns. we re goes to have to think
It is heartening to note that China is ready to help Pakistan in its conservation efforts for mangroves along Gwadar under CPEC. Along the coasts, from Balochistan to Sindh, a multifaceted approach.

The operation to repair and clear debris from a damaged Rotorua pump station continues with specialist crews called in and eastside residents urged to continue conserving water.
A collapsed wastewater main a week ago led to debris and silt getting into the Hona Rd pump station, with heavy rain late last week hampering repair work.
