| Abstract/Contents: | "This topic has significant implications for all irrigation professionals. Water is a finite resource that decreases in quantity more than increasing. As populations increase, water's availability in our current delivery systems do not keep up. Collecting and reusing water that enters or passes by a site is the only way to come close to matching the rising demand. Since most rainwater is collected on rooftops, we need to look at ways to expand collection efforts to other areas such as streets, driveways, parking lots, and planters. Ultimately, all sites should be venues for collecting rainwater, treating it and supplementing irrigation with it. This involves new methods such as larger containers and innovative capture techniques. As rainwater may be contaminated due to pollutants like microscopic germs, it is often not considered suitable for drinking. However, there are many examples of rainwater being used for all purposes - including drinking - following suitable treatment. This session will address the benefits of rainwater harvesting with illustrations provided by specific Los Angeles projects such as the TreePeople project, the Westside Rainwater Park, housing developments, Elmer Ave., and the Vista Hermosa Natural Park." |
