Catching and Harvesting a Precious Resource: Rainwater!

Come learn many simple ways to help yourself and the planet by "harvesting" the rain (collecting it or redirecting it, for example). You can:

  • replenish and improve our groundwater
  • protect wildlife, wetlands, and the ocean
  • reduce our negative impact on Northern California and Colorado River import areas
  • reduce pollution and energy use (oil and electric)
  • lower your water bill
