In the Australian Outback everyone does it. In the Sonoran Desert the rain in vain falls mainly down the drain. See how this bounty is harvested at a housing co-op, on neighborhood streets, in urban homes and in a community garden. Calculate how much water can be collected off of your roof and find out how you can divert and store rainwater. This tour is co-sponsored by the Tucson Botanical Gardens and the Center for Sonoran Desert Studies. Brad Lancaster of the Sonoran Permaculture Guild and author of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands (www.harvestingrainwater.com) is the instructor.

The class will be held on Dec. 6 from 8 AM - 4 PM. More information as well as the registration form can be found here.
