GreenThumb Workshop: Building a Rainwater Harvesting System
Rainwater harvesting is the practice of catching and holding rain for later use.
Rainwater harvesting is the practice of catching and holding rain for later use.
Since 2002, community gardens have been leading the charge to conserve water and redirect storm water runoff by collecting rainwater. This workshop will be an opportunity to learn more about these efforts and how you can build a simple 2-barrel system using materials that are readily available and at little to no cost.
This workshop is in partnership with GrowNYC and DEP.
RSVP here.
