Rainwater Harvesting Systems: Principles & Design March 7, 2010

Rainwater harvesting is a popular alternative for homeowners and gardeners who want to become more self-sufficient by collecting rainwater while reducing their water bills. Rainwater can be used to water gardens and for emergency water supply. In this class we will discuss the fundamentals and principles of designing a domestic rainwater harvesting system.

There will be a lunch break followed by a field trip to visit a rainwater supplier and a residential rainwater harvesting system used to irrigate over an acre of garden area.
