CRLA: Slow, Spread, Sink & Store Rain – EMWD

Date/Time

Location

Join us in-person on Saturday, April 4, for the Climate-ready Landscape Academy “Slow, Spread, Sink & Store Rain” workshop hosted by Eastern Municipal Water District. This is a 90 minute workshop, so plan accordingly!

Rain is a free resource, yet it is invaluable in the landscape. If the goal is to conserve water, reduce runoff, and support a healthy, thriving landscape, this class gives you the tools and knowledge to make the most out of this precious resource. We show you how to integrate supplemental water sources like gray water and recycled water to boost the effectiveness of your rainwater capture strategy. Topics include

• Select which rainwater capture method is best for your site
• Properly size and site a rain garden, swale, infiltration area, or flow-through planter
• Redirect rain from roof to garden, even on slopes, small spaces, and tight corners
• Design a landscape to maximize its overall permeability
• Utilize storage devices to hold on to even more water, if the situation calls for it
• Explore laundry-to-landscape graywater systems and tips for using recycled water

Advance registration is required. Please make sure to sign up below.

Start time is 5:30 pm PST.  We’ll be opening the doors a few minutes early to complete the sign-in process.  See you there!
