DESCRIPTION:Concerned about drought? Turn your house and yard into a water saving site 
 with greywater systems, rainwater catchment, earthworks, and appropriate 
 landscaping choices. You’ll learn about greywater design and take a tour 
 of the EcoHouse systems–the first permitted residential constructed 
 wetland/greywater system in 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 fundamentals 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 as well as 
 build soil fertility and stabilize soils. Return home with ideas and plans 
 of your own!\n\nThe tour is led by EcoHouse co-founder, designer, and 
 builder Babak Tondre who has been practicing and teaching natural building 
 since 1994. Tondre is a principle with DIG Cooperative, a licensed general 
 contractor whose mission is to connect people with ecology by offering 
 comprehensive natural building solutions and integrated water systems that 
 transform homes and cities into healthier and more productive environments 
 for current and future generations. (http://www.dig.coop/)\n\nPlease
