ARCSA and Washington State University Extension and Clark Countyare offering a comprehensiveRainwater Catchment Accredited Professional training course(please click to register), on August 21 & 22, 2015at the Heritage Farm in Vancouver, Washington.
According to ARCSA’s recent email: With the ongoing water crisis in California, and now the Pacific Northwest, this workshop will focus on the Oregon and Washington Issues. Residents of the Pacific Northwest are encouraged to attend to learn to capture stormwater, while creating additional “reservoirs” to store water for future beneficial uses. You can’t use it if you don’t store it.
