Actual case studies will be presented\, which will be supplemented with “hands-on” activities that will allow workshop participants to gain a thorough understanding of the process of water harvesting and how to make it happen in their communities.\nDuring this interactive workshop\, an extensive display of photos and videos that show actual water harvesting applications will be shown for workshop participants to evaluate\, critique\, and discuss with the workshop leader.\nAll workshop participants will receive a copy of the workshop leader’s important and timely book\, “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands & Beyond: Volume 1 (Guiding Principles to Welcome Rain into your Life & Landscape)\,” which will be used as a workbook during the workshop.  Volume 1 is the core of a 3-volume guide about how to conceptualize\, design\, and implement sustainable water harvesting systems for homes\, landscapes\, and communities.  TSA certificates will be presented to everyone who attends this training.\nA G E N D A\nBoth Days\, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm\nMAJOR TOPICS THAT WILL BE COVERED DURING THE WORKSHOP:\n1.    Introduction to rainwater harvesting – why you should do it\n2.    The eight principles of successful water harvesting\n3.    Integrating energy & water conservation strategies – do more with less\n4.    Examples of successful rainwater harvesting applications\n5.    Understanding the three golden elevations of water harvesting topography\n6.    Use of different elevation tools for site work\n7.    Taking advantage of passive solar principles in conjunction with rainwater\nharvesting to reduce utility bills\n8.    Creating appropriate native plant pallets\n9.    Creating a living air conditioner for your property\n10.    Advice for purchasing the best and most practical products for water harvesting\n11.    Creating an on-site water budget for a property\n12.    Getting water harvesting grants & tax credits\n13.    Calculating a payback period related to your investment\n14.    Basic principles of greywater harvesting & sizing of household systems\n15.    Case studies for participants to apply the knowledge they just gained\n16.     Hands-on site assessment – Bring your site plans to discover what potentials you have\n17.    Field trip on the property to assess rainwater harvesting potentials\n18.    Round table discussions regarding how harvesting rain water can work in your area\nWORKSHOP LEADER:  This TSA workshop will be presented by Brad Lancaster\, who has taught\, designed\, and consulted on the sustainable design systems of permaculture and integrated rainwater systems since 1993.  He lives on a thriving 1/8-acre urban permaculture site that he created in downtown Tucson\, Arizona.  Brad is at one with the earth and his environment.  He actually lives what he writes about and teaches every day.  Brad’s down-to-earth teaching approach\, blended with the individual attention he gives to every workshop participant makes learning the processes of harvesting rainwater interesting\, exciting\, and fun.  Brad’s web site is www.HarvestingRainwater.com.\n–   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –   –\nR E G I S T R A T I O N   F O R M\nTSA  WORKSHOP:   Applying the Principles of Water Harvesting\nDATES:   September 15 & 16\, 2009\nCOST:     $345/person                           AMOUNT ENCLOSED: $_____________\nPLACE:   Sandia Courtyard Hotel & Convention Center\n15 Hotel Circle\nAlbuquerque\, NM  87123\nPHONE:  505-296-4852  [ or ]  800-877-4852\nNAME & ADDRESS of ORGANIZATION:         _________________________________________\n_________________________________________\n_________________________ zip_____________\nNAME(s) & POSITION(s) of THOSE ATTENDING:    ____________________________________\n______________________________________________________________________________\nPHONE: (____) ___________   FAX: (____) ____________   EMAIL: ______________________\n–  Please make your own arrangements for travel\, hotel\, and meals\, and let the hotel know that you will be attending\na TSA workshop so that you can receive the special room rate of $51./single or double.\n–  Please mail this registration form with your payment to Training Services Association\, 1959 Cassim Ln.\,\nTucson\, AZ 85704.  Please do not hand carry checks or cash to the workshop.  Questions?  Contact Bill Cogley\nTSA Director:  Phone\, 520-297-3868 … Fax\, 520-297-2322 … Email\, tsa@trainingservicesassoc.com\n–  To better ensure that your registration is processed in time for the workshop\, please also FAX a copy of\nthis registration form to TSA\, 520-297-2322 … Thanks!\n–  In the event of the UNLIKELY cancellation of this workshop\, non-refundable airline tickets should be purchased\nat your own risk.

They empower you to create integrated water-sustainable landscape plans at home and throughout your community. Rainwater harvesting is the process of capturing rain and making the most of it as close as possible to where it falls. Greywater harvesting is the process of directing water from household sink\, bathtub\, shower\, and washing machine drains into the soils of the landscape where the water is naturally filtered and reused to generate more on-site resources. The two work hand in hand\, and can reduce our water consumption by 30 to 50%! You’ll see examples enhancing local food security\, passively cooling cities in summer\, reducing costs of living and energy consumption\, controlling erosion\, averting flooding\, reviving dead waterways\, minimizing water pollution\, building community\, creating celebration\, and more.\nBrad Lancaster is the author of the award-winning “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands\, Volume 1: Guiding Principles to Welcome Rain Into Your Life and Landscape” and “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond\, Volume 2: Water-Harvesting Earthworks” (www.HarvestingRainwater.com). Living on an eighth of an acre in downtown Tucson\, Arizona\, where rainfall is less than 12 inches annually\, Brad practices what he preaches by harvesting over 100\,000 gallons of rainwater a year.\nBrad and his brother Rodd have created an oasis in the desert by directing this harvested rainwater not off their property and into storm drains\, but instead incorporating it into living air conditioners of food-bearing shade trees\, abundant gardens\, and a thriving landscape that includes habitat for wildlife.\nBrad Lancaster is a permaculture teacher\, designer\, consultant and co-founder of Desert Harvesters (DesertHarvesters.org). Brad has taught programs for the ECOSA Institute\, Columbia University\, University of Arizona\, Prescott College\, Audubon Expeditions\, City of Asheville\, North Carolina and many others. He has helped design integrated water harvesting and permaculture systems for homeowners and gardeners\, including the Tucson Audubon Simpson Farm restoration site\, the Milagro and Stone Curves co-housing projects.\nThis event is sponsored primarily by One Community Sustainable Living Lecture Series and co-sponsored by the City of Flagstaff\, The Coconino Sustainable Building Program\, Willow Bend Environmental Education Center and Eden on Earth.\nFor more information contact:\nAmanda Acheson\naacheson@coconino.az.gov URL:https://www.harvestingrainwater.com/event/rainwater-and-greywater-harvesting-presentation-by-brad-lancaster-in-flagstaff-arizona/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20080517T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20080517T180000 DTSTAMP:20080512T162433Z CREATED:20080512T162433Z LAST-MODIFIED:20080512T162433Z UID:312-1211047200-1211047200@www.harvestingrainwater.com SUMMARY:Book Signing and Water Harvesting Talk with Brad Lancaster in Edgewood\, New Mexico DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 17\, 2008\n6pm\nEdgewood\, NM\nPot luck dinner\, book signing\, and new talk with Brad Lancaster to celebrate the release of his new book “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond\, Volume 2: Water-Harvesting Earthworks”.
