"What’s more of a concern? Drought or deluge? We might have both in Santa Barbara this year. How can we work together to protect our community and each other during these trying times?  Sweetwater Collaborative has ideas and experience implementing innovative solutions that can make a difference in both drought and deluge.  The same principles that save water or create new and different sources of water can be applied to getting too much water on our properties, streets, and neighborhoods.  Slow, spread, and sink the water, stop it from rushing past us, picking up topsoil and pollution and hurling down to the ocean.Your contribution will help fund a strong rainwater harvesting and run-on harvesting program with multiple facets- hands-on workshops, design, consulting, coaching, and public and professional classes and courses, building skills and models in our community.
