DESCRIPTION: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 greywater system at the EcoHouse, the first 
 permitted 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. We'll cover the basics of how 
 to collect rainwater from your house and store it in cisterns or directly 
 in your garden. Earthworks such as berms, basins, french drains, swales and 
 diversion drains can also help offset your need for irrigation and 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! EcoHouse co-founder 
 Babak Tondre leads the tour. Tondre coordinated the design and build of the 
 projects on this tour. 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.
