Rainwater harvesting is great for North Texas because you can keep some of the rain we get during the spring and fall to use during our hot and dry summers. Even a small roof area can produce a usable amount of water during an average rainfall. From huge cisterns to small DIY barrels, capturing rainwater can be done by anyone. Attend this workshop to learn about the ins and outs of rainwater harvesting and purchase a discounted barrel to build and take home! 

 

Learn about: 

  • How much water your roof will produce in a year
  • Where to put your rain barrel to capture the most water
  • How to install a barrel
  • How to hook up and use your new water source
  • How to build your own50-gallonrain barrel with just a few supplies from the hardware store 

 

Register for the workshop to build a rain barrel to take home for only $25! 

 

Attendees get to build their own rain barrel and take it home. 

 

One barrel per household. Open to Hurst, Texas residents only. 

 

The workshop will be taught by Tarrant County Master Gardeners. 

 

This event is brought to you by the City of Hurst and Tarrant Regional Water District.
