Are you looking forward to the upcoming rainy season so you can harvest that precious water resource instead of watching it go down the drain? At this hands-on workshop, you'll learn about different rain storage options, important steps for water harvesting and how to use your stored water. Join Brook Sarson, water harvesting professional, with H2OME (www.h2o-me.com) at a University Heights home where she will walk you through a 500 gallon tank installation and a 715 gallon tank installation linking (3) 205 gallon tanks in series. You'll also learn how to create basins for passive rainwater harvesting.

Are you curious about greywater? Would you like to tap into this gently used water to grow more for less? On this same day, you can help install a simple laundry-to-landscape system to water a basin of berry vines. We will go over the latest greywater policy for San Diego and show you how to install your own.

The class will start with a site introduction, followed by an hour presentation on rainwater and greywater harvesting strategies and considerations. Then we will discuss the specifics of our site, our materials, and begin to rotate in small groups, installing various parts of the project.

You will walk away from this workshop with enough information to make an informed decision about the possibilities at your site. You will also know how to install your own water tanks or greywater system, and have access to resources to help you complete your project.

Class size is limited to 15 attendees, so please RSVP soon to Brook at brook@h2o-me.com, or call 619.964.4838, to reserve your spot. Our host will be providing a simple but nourishing lunch. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions.
