Rainwater Harvesting Principles and Earthworks

Date range:

Day 1 of a 3-day series. Investigate urban hydrology and natural infiltration in Dimond Canyon. Map water flow and contours in the landscape. Dig earthworks to infiltrate water into the ground.

Simple, low-cost rainwater catchment systems can increase your backyard harvest, reduce storm runoff, recharge the aquifer, and lower your water bill. Learn how to design viable and site-appropriate systems integrating water conservation, greywater recycling, rainwater harvesting, and water-wise gardens.
