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. 
 \n\nWe 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. \n\nEarthworks 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! \n\nEcoHouse 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. 
 \n\nSpace is limited. Pre-registration by 5pm on Thursday, June 21 ensures 
 a spot.\n\nCost:	$15 general, $10 EC members, no one turned away for lack 
 of funds.\nInfo:	510-548-2220 x239, register@ecologycenter.org,
