Water and wastewater management, water wisdom.
Integrated design for water supply, water reuse, runoff management, energy efficiency, food production, materials management, and economic sustainability of home and garden.
This lecture and workshop will connect the large scale environmental challenges we face with the design of our homes and landscaping. Through discussion and on-site design clinic at local homes, we will illustrate relevant, practical ways to make our living spaces part of the solution. This class will emphasize the importance of water and how we can use this limited resource responsibly. Appropriate for both general interest and those looking for an introduction to this new and growing career field.
