SUMMARY:Online Rainwater Harvesting Course
DESCRIPTION: \nNote: Enrollment remains open until the night of October 27th. \nRainwater Harvesting Course Structure\nWEEK 1 RAINWATER HARVESTING PRINCIPLES: You will share stories of people and sites that are using rainwater harvesting to enhance their lives and communities.\nWEEK 2 SITE ASSESSMENT: You will discover how to analyze the rainwater resources in your climate and on your site\, as well as the water requirements that you need to plan for.\nWEEK 3 WATER COLLECTION STRATEGY: You will decide what features and systems to use and the reasons behind making the best choices for your site.\nWEEK 4 RAINWATER HARVESTING DESIGNS: You will integrate your rainwater harvesting strategies into a wider plan that also considers the sun\, plants\, soils\, and more.\nWEEK 5 TECHNICAL SYSTEMS DETAILS: You will refine the conceptual plan you are developing to bring you closer to installing the plan on your site. \nLearning Formats\nYou will assess your on-site rainwater resources and learn to apply a diversity of strategies to maximize their potential. This expert-led course features: \n\nvideo lectures\nexercises\nassignments\ncustom made spreadsheets and templates\n\nThe course also features the work of Arizona rainwater harvesting author Brad Lancaster. Brad’s best-selling-award-winning book “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond Volume 1″ is the textbook for the course. Brad is also the featured lecturer\, alongside Andrew Millison\, the course’s developer.\n \nFor more information and to register see:\nhttps://pace.oregonstate.edu/catalog/permaculture-rainwater-harvesting-online-course

SUMMARY:ARCSA Conference in Las Vegas\, Nevada
DESCRIPTION:Brad will be presenting at the conference Dec. 3 at 1pm.\nHere’s a brief synopsis of the presentation:\nPlant the Rain\, Recycle Your Drain Water\, and Save Energy; While Growing Resilience\, Abundance\, and Joy\nby Brad Lancaster\, author of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond\, and HarvestingRainwater.com\n \nIn most communities – even dryland communities more rain falls (for free) on the community than all its citizens consume of municipal water. Thus the potential of harvesting rainwater is huge\, especially when one considers the energy and monetary costs of pumping and transporting water. 20% of the state of California’s energy consumption goes to transporting and treating water. In the City of Tucson it is over 44%.\nWater-harvesting potential and energy savings dramatically increase still more when you integrate it with the recycling of once-used water\, or greywater. You don’t need to buy tanks\, pumps\, and filters—you can grow them in a way that heats buildings in winter and cools them in summer for free. Gravity-fed systems and pipeless systems can also be utilized which never fail from power outages or leaks.\nIntegrating water-harvesting with flood control takes things even further\, by shifting the focus from drainage to infiltration—results in millions of dollars saved per project\, enhanced quality of life\, and more income for cities and businesses.\nBleak streets and parking lots of exposed pavement can become street food forests and parking orchards irrigated with nothing more than the stormwater from the hardscape. Storm drains become storm parks. Crime drops\, the heat-island effect becomes the cool-island effect\, and life flourishes. This is available to us all everywhere if we make a simple mental shift. Numerous case studies and strategies to be shared\, along with Water-Energy-Carbon Nexus charts for at-home perusal comparing the energy consumption of various sources of water\, water needs of various energy sources (that may be used to pump or treat that water)\, and the carbon emitted by the water and energy sources.\n \nFor more info on the conference see:\nhttps://www.arcsa.org/event/2019conference
