Hands-on rainwater harvesting workshop
Date range:
February 11, 2012 - 11:00am - 4:00pm
Come learn about simple, backyard rainwater harvesting systems. We'll cover common types of rainharvesting systems, storage options, system components, how to size a system, and irrigation methods.
We'll install two systems, a rain barrel system, and a gravity-fed drip irrigation system off an existing 1600 gallon cistern. These systems will:
*provide storage
*reduce stormwater runoff and sewage overflows
*recharge aquifers
*increase your backyard harvest
*lower your water bill
Cost: $30- $100 sliding scale, limited work trade spots available
