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

You’ll see examples of:\n• an integrated “tiny house” where a one-car garage was converted into a cottage or “garottage” that passive heats and cools itself for free with well-designed winter sun access & summer shading. 75% of its building materials were salvaged from the waste stream;\n• solar cooking\, solar water heating\, and solar power;\n• legal & inexpensive site-built composting toilets\, which helped legalize such toilets state-wide;\n• organic gardens getting 95+% of their irrigation needs met by harvested rainwater;\n• inexpensive gravity-fed rainwater harvesting systems providing safe & delicious rainwater for all domestic needs including drinking – with no expensive pumps or mechanical filtration systems;\n• extensive gravity-fed greywater harvesting systems turning “waste” waters into resource waters.\n• how a joyous 20 plus-years of car-free life has been possible (cargo bicycle is key)\, and saves over $8\,000 annually\nIn the neighborhood part of the tour you’ll see:\n• water-harvesting traffic-calming features that helped turn a dangerous streets into a welcoming bicycle boulevards\,\n• street-runoff harvesting strategies that use street runoff to freely irrigate street trees and control flooding – and new evolutions improvements on these strategies\n• learn how these once “pre-legal” street runoff-harvesting strategies were legalized\, rebated\, and mandated\n• native food forests doubling as wildlife and pollinator corridors that canopy over public foot paths\,\n• how an annual neighborhood rain and tree planting effort has resulted in the planting of over 1\,500 trees and hundreds of understory plants in the neighborhood\n• how a county grant helped pay for water-harvesting strategies harvesting over 1 million gallons of annual stormwater in and along the streets\n• how a neighborhood-organized Neighborhood Foresters program is training up the neighborhood to steward these features and is implementing more.\n• public art & other strategies reclaiming the commons for more life!\n \nJust in time for the holidays – Brad will also be selling (at deep discount) & signing copies of the just released & revised\, full-color editions of his award-winning books; and Plant the Rain t-shirts\, caps\, and stickers.\nhttps://www.harvestingrainwater.com/shop/
