The course includes: an overview presentation on Los Angeles water issues, including local multi-benefit watershed management efforts, a tour of Los Angeles Eco-Village rainwater harvesting landscape features, and a hands-on workshop to build terraced swales to detain and infiltrate water.

Who should attend: folks interested in water sustainability and/or watershed restoration, gardeners, folks interested in creating small-scale water-harvesting earthworks.

Note: This course focuses on building earthworks that gather and infiltrate rainwater in the landscape. It does not cover rainwater harvesting with cisterns, which we anticipate will be the subject of a future workshop, hopefully in early fall 2008.
