Harvesting Rainwater for Your
Outdooring Water Needs
 
Thursday September 5 at 7:00 PM
 
1540 Main St, West Barnstable
 
Are you interested in exploring the opportunities for water harvesting
on your property or community programming?
Jeff Adams, originally from Falmouth but now practicing landscape
design in Utah, is joining us for an interactive presentation on the
fundamentals of water harvesting, including techniques to mitigate
stormwater runoff issues, decreasing the use of drinking quality water
for outdoor irrigation needs, and providing a supplemental water
source. Techniques discussed will include water harvesting landscape
features such as rain gardens and swales and roof water catchment
fundamentals for tank and barrel systems.
Basic calculations will be covered for determining how much water
you can potentially harvest. Examples of water harvesting projects
and programs from around the country will be highlighted.
