Water Harvesting Workshop Series…
Peninsula Permaculture, a project of Conexions, and Waking Water Designs: Ecological Design, Implementation, and Maintenance presents:
Waking Waters: Guiding Your Land in Stewardship Through Responsibly Harvesting Water
Over the course of time, urbanization and poor land management practices on rural properties have led to waterways that are more prone to flooding, streams with unstable morphologies, dropping groundwater levels, and poorer water quality. Designing and installing a comprehensive water harvesting system on your property is one way to reverse the impacts of urbanization on your watershed.
In this three-part workshop series we will learn the modern context of why widespread water harvesting on the home scale is necessary for watershed restoration. We will then discuss the design considerations for various water harvesting techniques as well as get hands-on experience installing them. The series, when taken in its entirety, exposes you to all aspects of a comprehensive water harvesting system for your property, allowing you to guide your land in stewardship as part of a widespread watershed restoration effort.
