DESCRIPTION:Learn how to turn your house and yard into a water saving site with 
 greywater systems, rainwater catchment, earthworks, and appropriate 
 landscaping choices. You'll learn about the permitted greywater system at 
 the EcoHouse, the first residential constructed wetland/greywater system in 
 the State of California and the first greywater system in Berkeley to be 
 permitted. We will discuss the principles and process of safely irrigating 
 with shower, bathroom sink, and laundry waste water and include a 
 presentation of greywater design and the application process. This workshop 
 focuses on greywater but we'll also touch on the basics of how to collect 
 rainwater from your house and store it in cisterns or directly in your 
 garden. Also using earthworks such as berms, basins, french drains, swales 
 and diversion drains to help offset your need for irrigation entirely or 
 minimize your water use in the summer as well as build soil fertility and 
 stabilize soils. Return home with ideas and plans of your own! Please 
 specify when registering if ASL interpretation is requested, (at least 10 
 working days in advance). This workshop is not wheelchair accessible. 
 PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED.\n
