Educational Seminar at Cabrillo

Rainwater Harvesting Principles & Design - Cabrillo College Extension

 

Sunday - March 1, 2009

Twenty-five enthusiastic people attended our Rainwater Harvesting Principles & Design seminar that Earthcraft regularly holds at Cabrillo College Extension. While giving the power point presentation, Bobby Markowitz and Lizandro Salazar addressed the students questions. Everyone was very eager to learn about filtration systems, different types of tanks, and how rainwater is being used at home and abroad (in Australia).

After the presentation, the students followed  on a field trip to Scotts Valley Sprinkler Supply to look at products and demonstration systems. This is a great hands-on experience that gives students the chance to actually see  working displays up-close. Because it was RAINING, they got to go through the components in REAL TIME!!! We hadn't given this seminar since last fall, so we had kind of forgotten how much FUN it is -- and not just for the students, but for us too. :)

Our last stop was a model site in Los Gatos. The site is a residential closed-loop system featuring 1.5-acres of lush, Japanese gardens and a full, above-ground rainwater harvesting system (the same one that won the Water Smart Garden Award -- scroll down to the bottom of the blog to see it). The owner is always very gracious and allows us to bring our classes here. It was still raining when we got there, so people got a really good grasp of how the whole system works, and we were glad to see that the rain tanks were FULL!!!
