July 9, 2013: "Water Harvesting and Recycling" Class offered at Santa Fe Community College - Continuing Education by ADC Network

Water Harvesting and Recycling - Save, store and re-use water for your home and landscape.

Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at Santa Fe Community College, 6 to 9 pm.

Conserving and managing our precious water resources are crucial to living in New Mexico. Learn how water harvesting and recycling systems can reduce your water usage and your water bills. We review current practices for using and managing storm-water, including roof-top capture, passive systems, cisterns, pumice wicks, and infiltration strategies. We also show how easy and cost-effective it is to use your household gray water (from showers and washing machines) to irrigate your landscape, plus strategies for dealing with highly-polluting septic tanks and leach fields, making this black water safe and usable for irrigating your landscape.
