The Russian River County Water District
is presenting:
The Seven Wonders of
Water Conservation
Saturday, July 23, 10AM-Noon
Oddfellows Hall, Forestville
(corner of Covey & 116)
Free to All
Topics will include:
- Why water is a vital, limited resource to be valued and conserved
- How to transform your thirsty lawn and plants into a water-wise oasis
- How to harvest rainwater through simple earthworks
- How laundry and bath water can help create a greywater oasis
- The pros and cons of rainwater catchment
- Amazing local examples of these solutions already installed throughout Sonoma County
- How to help make your community more waterwise and sustainable
The presenter, Trathen Heckman, is the president of Daily Acts (DailyActs.org), a 10-year-old non profit which promotes conservation by educating and inspiring communities how to do so on small and large scales.
With better than normal rain this year, why worry about water conservation?
One good year does not mean one should still waste a valuable resource.

Water Conservation Workshop Report
From: Janet Zagoria, 07/24/11 12:10 PM
We had a good turnout and Trathen from Daily Acts gave us a lot to think and rethink about. (It's not as much eco-environment as it is ego-environment, he says.)
If you are interested in a hands-on workshop entitled Laundry to Landscape Greywater Reuse given by Daily Acts on 8/20 in Windsor, go to:

There is also a tour entitled Tour: Rain & Greywater Fed Urban Oases on 8/14 listed on the same page.
