About this event

Rainwater Harvesting doesn't have to be expensive or use cisterns and tanks to be successful in your home landscapes. Following the principles and guidelines in this class, along with some simple steps, new harvesters can get started with earthworks for successful passive rainwater harvesting at home.

Learning Objectives

  • The Case for Rainwater Harvesting: Beneficial uses of rainwater harvesting, regenerating your landscape, working with nature rather than against it (slow, spread and sink), using water wisely, soil building and cooling, plant health.
  • Long and thoughtful observation: Starting at the top of your watershed (roof), study how and where the water drains on your property?
  • Do the smallest things for the greatest beneficial use. Start small, experiment, and evaluate the results and modify where needed. What’s working, what isn’t?
  • Selecting the right earthwork for your situation. A review of various earthworks and what benefits they provide. (Berm n’ Basin, Check Dam, Diversion Swales, French Drains, Terraces)
  • Maximize stackable functions through systems thinking. How many benefits can my landscape receive from one small change? (Shade, Water Conservation, Plant Health, Soil Building, Reduced Yard Maintenance)
