LBP canal renovation in Erode to be over by August 15: WRD
ERODE: The Water Resources Department (WRD) plans to complete by August 15 the renovation of the Lower Bhavani Project (LBP) Canal which is a major water source for farmers in Erode, Tiruppur and Karur districts. Officials informed that 94% of the renovation work has been completed and that water will be released for irrigation from the Lower Bhavani Dam only after the work is fully completed and it is not possible to open the water in advance. The LBP Canal supports an extensive ayacut area of 2,07,000 acres, providing water to thousands of farmers who rely on it for cultivation and livelihood. To enhance the structural integrity and water-carrying efficiency of the canal system, comprehensive renovation works were initiated in 2021. This project is being implemented at an estimated cost of Rs 709.6 crore. Renovation work is carried out on the canal on days when water from the dam is not released for irrigation. There has been a demand among farmers and political parties to release water from the dam for the first phase of the LBP irrigation ahead of the usual date of August 15. A senior WRD official in Erode said, "As of last year, 85% of the renovation work has been completed and the remaining work resumed after the end of the irrigation season on April 30. It is currently in progress at 115 locations.

Drug-free treatment for acid reflux and heartburn launches
It's a pocket-sized, drug-free treatment | Zemaflux A groundbreaking new drug-free treatment for acid reflux and heartburn launches. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Named Zemaflux, it's the world's first pocket-sized personal trainer for the oesophagus. It addresses the root cause of acid reflux by strengthening the muscles that hold back stomach acid - and it's 100 per cent natural. It's also a low-cost alternative that could help millions of sufferers reduce their reliance on PPIs and other long-term reflux medicines for a condition that affects almost one in five people. Millions are popping PPIs and antacids every day - only for the symptoms to return the next day - and these drugs merely suppress the symptoms. Zemaflux targets the root cause of acid reflux: a weak Lower Oesophageal Sphincter (LES) and offers long-term relief, not just a 24-hour cover-up. The LES muscles act as a natural valve, preventing stomach acid from rising into the oesophagus. As people age, these muscles become weak and flabby, and their function becomes impaired. This allows stomach acid to rise and produce that horrible burning feeling. Like other muscles in the body, LES muscles can be trained to gain strength. That's how Zemaflux works - by exercising and strengthening the LES muscles to restore their original function. Zemaflux is the result of extensive research by Anthony Green, a health innovator and Senior Associate of The Royal Society of Medicine in London. After being diagnosed with Barrett's Oesophagus, he was determined to find a natural cure, rather than take PPIs for the rest of his life. Drawing on years of clinical research and patient case studies, Green developed the Zemaflux Reflux Resistance Trainer. 'Most people with reflux rely on daily medication, which only masks the symptoms,' said Anthony Green. 'Zemaflux provides a science-backed, drug-free solution that empowers the body to heal itself naturally and permanently.' One early user shared: 'Zemaflux changed everything for me. I was popping antacids constantly. After a month of using the trainer, 'I finally feel normal again and I'm off meds.' Zemaflux is available exclusively at

We Had a Workable Plan to Recover the Northwest's Salmon Runs. The Trump Administration Just Shut It Down
The Trump Administration said Thursday that it will terminate the Resilient Columbia Basin Agreement. The historic agreement, reached under the Biden Administration in 2023, brought together state governments, tribes, and other stakeholders to plot a path forward for the region's endangered salmon runs. As part of those efforts, the agreement opened the door to considerations around breaching the Lower Four Snake River Dams, a controversial move that many experts say is our best chance at recovering these fish. 'The survival problems of various ESA-listed salmon and steelhead species in the Columbia Basin cannot be solved without removing four dams on the Lower Snake River,' a group of 68 leading fisheries scientists wrote in a letter to policymakers in 2021, as the RCBA was first coming together. That same year, Sen. Mike Simpson of Idaho became one of the first conservative leaders in the U.S. to embrace the idea of dam breaching as a viable solution. 'These four dams must be removed to not only avoid extinction,' the scientists concluded, 'but also to restore abundant salmon runs.' Read Next: Breach or Die: It's Time to Free the Lower Snake River and Save Idaho's Wild Salmon In its June 12 memorandum, however, the Trump Administration chalked up those conclusions to 'speculative climate change concerns.' It explained that by pulling the federal government and its funding out of the RCBA, it was 'stopping radical environmentalism' and 'securing American prosperity.' In addition to fundamentally mischaracterizing the agreement itself, Thursday's announcement seemed to imply that speaking up for fish and considering alternatives to the status quo is part of a green agenda meant to harm the American public. 'President Trump continues to deliver on his promise to end the previous administration's misplaced priorities and protect the livelihoods of the American people,' the announcement reads. Conservationists and wild fish advocates are deeply disappointed by Trump's decision to axe the agreement, which also paused a series of ongoing lawsuits that have dragged on for decades, and would have contributed more than a billion dollars in federal funding to solving a big, hairy problem. They say the move sets back our country's salmon recovery efforts substantially, returning us to a zero-sum game of endless litigation that pits energy against fish. 'It was one of the first times that we had a collaborative effort where people agreed to come together — nobody's hand was forced, there wasn't a judge or a court insisting on this,' CEO and President of Trout Unlimited Chris Wood tells Outdoor Life. 'Now, we're back to the beginning — where we had been for the previous 20 years. Which is just relying on the Endangered Species Act to keep these most amazing of God's creatures from blinking out.' This is not speculation. The Columbia-Snake River system was once the most productive salmon and steelhead fishery in the world. Today, these anadromous runs are a shadow of their former selves, with wild fish returning at less than two percent of their historical abundance. As Wood notes, 'the numbers don't lie.' And although there are several factors influencing their survival in the 21st century, the most impactful barriers are the four dams on the Lower Snake River and the impoundments they've created, which impede salmon and steelhead from reaching the most productive spawning habitat in the Lower 48. 'The Snake is the last best hope for Pacific salmon,' Wood says, because of the high-quality habitat found in its high-elevation tributaries. 'These places are perfect for these fish. The problem is, they just can't get back.' The main objective of the 2023 cooperative agreement, Wood adds, was for stakeholders to work together to increase those returns. It was not a decision to breach the Lower Four Snake River Dams, nor did it support legislation to authorize dam breaching. The dams are owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and removing or redesigning them would require an act of Congress. Breaching the dams remains a deeply controversial subject, as they provide several benefits to our modern, energy-hungry society, including hydropower, barge transportation, and irrigation. The four dams together produce roughly enough electricity to power a city the size of Seattle. (Importantly, they do not provide flood control, as other dams on the Snake and Columbia Rivers do.) A core component of the RCBA was to find ways to replace this energy and the other benefits before any breaching plans were even considered. 'The idea was to look at the dams and the benefits they provide,' Wood says. 'And let's ask each other: How can we make sure that the irrigators, the barge operators, the farmers, and the people who depend on the power [the dams generate] can all be made whole?' In many ways, the agreement reached in 2023 provided a road map for these difficult conversations. It established a Tribal Energy Program to help the Columbia River Treaty Tribes develop their own renewable energy sources. It provided federal guidance for replacing and/or redesigning the current irrigation and transportation systems in the Lower Snake region. And it provided the funds to make these solutions workable. Perhaps most importantly, though, it paused the Gordian knot of ongoing lawsuits around the Lower Four dams in an effort to bring stakeholders back to the negotiating table. 'So, I guess we're gonna go back to the way things used to be, which is basically, 'We'll see you in court.' And I don't see how that benefits the fish. And I definitely don't see how it benefits the social and economic interests that depend on this hydropower system.'
