About the Workshop:

Water harvesting systems continue to become a popular BMP across the state of North Carolina, as they provide a means of reducing potable water consumption for activities such as irrigation, toilet flushing and vehicle washing. This workshop is designed for those who are considering designing, actively designing, or reviewing designs of water harvesting systems throughout the state of North Carolina. In this 0.5-day workshop, instructors will provide an overview of water harvesting systems and their components, guidelines and suggestions for selecting the most appropriate type and size of pump and construction and installation recommendations. A design model will be distributed and participants will be shown how to use the model to appropriately size and design water harvesting systems. Information presented in this workshop addresses systems ranging in size from 55 gallons (rain barrels) to more than 10,000 gallons. Hands-on practice and examples will be provided as well as a field tour of local systems.
