Turn water scarcity into water abundance! As development grows, formerly vegetated and porous earthen watersheds are paved over and made impervious. This urban phenomenon creates scarcity by dehydrating landscapes, increasing downstream flooding, increasing the heat island effect, and creating sterile living environments. However, many of these negative effects can be reversed. This workshop will empower you to turn water scarcity into water abundance at home, in your neighborhood, and beyond. Learn guiding principles and practical tools to welcome rainwater and greywater into your life and landscape. Through lecture, demonstration, and hands-on, we will overview rainwater and greywater harvesting collection systems, concepts, and practices, as well as design and install a residential rainwater and greywater system. You WILL leave this workshop with the ability and resources to install your own system. Brad will have his books available to sign.
