| Abstract/Contents: | "In a time of severe water shortages in many parts of the country, the City of Santa Monica has emerged as a leader in watershed management with numerous public and private projects that demonstrate the benefits of harvesting rain and dry weather runoff. This paper will examine local residential, multi-family, governmental and institutional sites that are using rainharvesting techniques such as cisterns, rain barrels, and infiltration pits. Then we will examine how harvested water is distributed through the landscape with drip irrigation systems. Next we will look at how dry weather runoff is collected from streets, treated and used in overhead irrigation. We will reflect upon past successes and failures, look toward to the future of water, and explore how we can harness this precious resource now before it all goes down the drain carrying with it not only contaminants that pollute the ocean, but the opportunity to use a local valuable resource." |
