DIY Rainwater Harvesting – Southlake
September 23 @ 8:00 am - September 27 @ 5:00 pm
Free
Capture water while it is raining to use on your landscape later!
Join our workshop to learn how, then pick up a rain barrel to take home!
Register here for more information!
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 the ins and outs of rainwater harvesting and pick up a free rain barrel to 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 own 50 gallon rain barrel with just a few supplies from the hardware store
This workshop is available for Southlake, Texas residents only.
This workshop has 2 parts: an online class and a rain barrel pick up.
The online class will be available to watch on demand September 23-27.
Rain barrel pick up will be available the following week, September 30 – October 4.
This event is brought to you by Southlake and Tarrant Regional Water District.
