Right as Rain: Stormwater Reduction Through Capture & Infiltration
Presenters:
- Brock Dolman
- John Russel
Rainwater is a water source that requires minimal filtration for use in rain gardens, or infiltrating onsite into soil where not needed for gardens. Rainwater harvesting, like all harvesting of alternative waters, should be considered as one of many strategies of integrated water management and low impact development. Two of the state's most qualified rainwater experts, Brock Dolman Director of the OAEC Water Institute, and John Russell, owner of Water Sprout will untangle rainwater quality issues; discuss the pros and cons of harvesting rainwater for ornamental and food crop gardens; explain earthworks, rain gardens, system costs, and how to plan a water budget and estimate necessary storage.

Graywater, a year round water source, is an essential component of integrated water management, particularly in California which has wet and dry seasons. Graywater experts Laura Allen of Greywater Action, Bill Wilson of Carlisle Macy and Susie Murray of the City of Santa Rosa's Graywater Program, will share in-depth knowledge on the new CA Graywater code and localized adoption and civic graywater programs; explain how to match appropriate systems with specific site conditions, water quality and permitting issues; and discuss the successes and failures of implementing systems around the state.
