This one day, non-residential hands-on workshop is for all those interested in how to safely harvest and store high quality water from your roof for potable and/or landscape use. We all depend on fresh water and a roofwater harvesting system can provide a cost-effective and self-sufficient source of clean water that is not dependant upon diminishing ground and surface water supplies and provides water for fire protection during the dry season. In addition, roofwater systems can enhance overall watershed health and assist in the recovery of endangered salmonids by reducing demands on the creek water that is so critical to their survival. This course will have a lecture/slideshow component that covers all the details of system design as well as a hands-on session in which we work on the installation of a small-scale system.
