FYI -------- Original Message -------- Hello Water Lovers! On this beautiful thundery day, I thought it appropriate to let you know about some upcoming workshops. Details are below for the following events:
Water Harvesting Open House - Sunday, October 17th
Hands-On Rainwater Tank Installation Workshop - Saturday,
October 23
Hands-On Rainwater Harvesting/Tank Installation/Greywater
Harvesting Workshop - Sunday, October 30
Water Harvesting Tour and
Short Film Screening
Sunday, October 17th
10:00AM-11:30AM and 2:00PM-3:30PM
 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. We will start with a 20 minute short film,
produced by the Surfrider Foundation, called The Cycle
of Insanity: The Real Story of Water. It's excellent
and very kid friendly. Space is limited, so RSVP soon.
After the film, about 10:30 and 2:30, we will take a
45-60 minute tour where you will learn about simple
greywater systems, do-it-yourself options,
rainwater-harvesting systems and resources. You can
schedule an appointment with Brook to assess greywater
opportunities at your site. Suggested donation of
$5/person will go toward supporting water activism in
San Diego. Please RSVP to Brook at [email protected]
or call 619.964.4838 and I will give you the address.
Hands-On Rainwater Tank
Installation Workshop
Saturday, October 23 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.,
Potluck lunch
Class cost: $40
The rainy season is fast approaching. Now is
the time to catch this precious water resource
before it goes down the drain. In this hands-on
workshop, you'll learn about different rain
storage options, important steps to remember when
implementing water harvesting strategies and how
to use your stored water. Brook Sarson, water
harvesting professional, with H2OME (www.h2o-me.com),
will walk you through a 1000 gallon tank
installation that was granted to St. David's
Preschool by the Clairemont Town Council.
The class will start with a site introduction,
followed by an hour presentation on rainwater
harvesting strategies and considerations. Then we
will discuss the specifics of our site, our
materials, and begin work to dig trenches, and
connect our gutter downspouts through filters to
our rainwater tank.
You will walk away from this workshop with
enough information to make an informed decision
about the possibilities at your site and install
your own water tank. Plus you'll have access to
resources to help you complete your project.
Class size is limited, so please RSVP soon to
Brook at [email protected],
or call 619.964.4838, to reserve your spot. Please
bring a dish to share for lunch, a shovel and work
gloves.
Hands-on Rainwater Harvesting/Tank
Installation/Greywater Harvesting Workshop
Saturday, October 30 9am-4pm, Lunch provided
Class cost: $50-65, sliding scale
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 [email protected],
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.
