learn more about using our water resources.

Water Harvesting Open House

Saturday, March 20, 2010 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

  Come see water harvesting in action! Guided by Water Harvesting  
Professional and Permaculturist, Brook Sarson, you'll see how a 1320  
gallon rainwater tank combined with laundry greywater and bath  
greywater work together to grow a garden of edibles using only 1/4 of  
the water that most San Diegans use each day.

  As you tour this urban farm setting, you'll see natural building  
techniques including a cob chicken coop, decorative benches as well as  
an earth pizza oven. Brook will be on-hand to talk to you about  
solutions for your space and how you can make a difference during San  
Diego's water crisis and beyond.

  There will be a tour starting at about 10:30 and another one around  
12:30  where you learn about simple greywater systems, do-it-yourself  
options, rainwater-harvesting systems, resources, or you can schedule  
an appointment with Brook to assess greywater opportunities at your  
site. Suggested donation of $5 will go toward supporting water  
activism in San Diego. Please RSVP to Brook at brook at h2o-me.com or  
call 619.964.4838 and I will give you the address.
