Eagle Scout's Project For a Rainy Day

PHOTO OF THE DAY: New rain garden works to keep water flowing.

Varun Shivakumar, of Boy Scout Troop 423 of Old Bethpage, created this rain garden at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Community Park earlier in August.

The young man had the help of more than 20 other Boy Scouts and family members.

Rain gardens are depressions built into the ground to take rain water away from driveways and structures and channel it back into the earth.
