Presentation: Water Reclamation for Your Backyard

Thursday, 10/22/2020
5:00 - 6:00
Virtual Library

United States

Learn how you can keep gallons of useful rainwater from carrying pollutants to the Bay, right at home.

Water reclamation is an important tool for adapting our urban environment to climate change. We look at specific tools and techniques and some inspiring projects. 

Over the past decade, presenter Kat Sawyer has built rainwater catchment systems in 25 public schools in San Francisco, engaging volunteers from each unique school community and sharing tangible ways for people to become better water stewards.
