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. 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! 
 \n\nEcoHouse co-founder Babak Tondre leads the tour. Tondre coordinated the 
 design and build of the projects on this tour. \n\nPlease specify when 
 registering if ASL interpretation is requested, (at least 10 working days 
 in advance). This workshop is not wheelchair accessible. Space is limited. 
 Pre-registration ensures a spot.\n\nCost:	$15 general, $10 EC members, no 
 one turned away for lack of funds.\nInfo:	510-548-2220 x239,
