Right-of-Way Water Harvesting Workshop
Saturday, October 24, 2009
8 am – 12:30 pm
Join Watershed Management Group (WMG) to learn how to harvest stormwater from neighborhood streets! As part of WMG’s and Rincon Heights’ model program to improve water quality in urban neighborhoods, we’ll be shaping basins and swales, laying rock work and gravel, and planting native vegetation. This workshop will be of particular interest to those who want to learn more about working in the City of Tucson’s right-of-way (between sidewalk and curb) to harvest rain water from adjacent properties, sidewalks, and from street runoff via curb cuts. The workshop will include information on city requirements, and hands-on practice working within this valuable and often overlooked public space.  Instruction in Spanish will be available.
There is space for 15 people at this free, public workshop. To reserve your spot, please RSVP (required) to:
