Tyler Caruso\ , a student at Pratt's Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment\, h as designed this class for people who are interested in learning more about rainwater harvesting in non-potable applications\, such as landscape irrig ation. In the face of the global climate crisis\, rainwater harvesting is a simple step to many pollution problems. When it rains in New York City\, impervious surfaces such as rooftops\, driveways\, parking lots and streets funnel large volumes of rainwater into the sewer system. But storms that p roduce over an inch of rain overwhelm the waste-water treatment plant\, whi ch then discharges raw untreated sewage mixed with the storm-water into the surrounding rivers and harbor and bays (this is also called combined sewer overflow or CSO). Making matters even worse\, most of the rainwater is als o turned into run-off\, accumulating pollutants on the pavement and carryin g them into the surrounding bodies of water. Millions and millions of gallo ns of fresh water are lost due to both of these conditions every year. But by feeding some of this storm-water into a rain garden\, we can each contri bute to minimizing these problems\, as well as recharging the ground water and enriching our garden soil. Plants much prefer rainwater to chlorinated city water. The workshop will offer a mix of practical information (i.e.\; how to calculate how much rainwater comes off your home\, the function and design of rain gardens\, and more) as well as hands-on experience as we im plement a design and install an actual rain garden. July 31\, 1-3:30 The S aturday afternoon presentation (with Q &A) will provide an overview of rain water harvesting: techniques—active and passive methods of water collection \, history\, best management practices\, and applicability to conserving ra infall as a natural resource. August 1\, 11 am - 3 pm The Sunday workshop is geared towards do-it-yourself types who want to learn about installing their own rainwater harvesting systems. During lunch there will be an oppo rtunity to meet individually to discuss your rainwater plans and projects. $10 for Saturday alone\; $40 for Sunday alone\; $45 for both.

Now is the time to find out how to reuse greywater—the waste water from your washing machine\, shower a nd bathroom sink—to make your flowers bloom. Greywater systems for reusing water in the landscape or in your home can save water and money and provide superior treatment. In this workshop I will outline the various greywater systems and other conservation strategies you can use to cut your water bil l and save our lakes\, streams and oceans. We’ll cover: · Benefits of grey water systems · Getting clear on objectives · Regulatory considerations · Site characteristics · Choosing a greywater system · Understanding what plants work best for greywater · Greywater dos and don’ts · Water conser vation and efficiency It just so happens that much of what we’ll be discu ssing is illegal under current NY plumbing codes. But codes be damned! This workshop will show you how to be a discreet and responsible greywater outl aw or how to be a more informed and responsible person. Tyler W.D.
