What we learned in school about hydrological cycles was in many cases oversimplified and its importance, understated. We were never taught how human habitat, infrastructure, design, and habits affect the watershed, micro and macro water cycles, and the global climate. Learn to connect each drop of water you use –and how you use it– at home, to the bigger picture. Topics include greywater, rainwater, stormwater, groundwater recharge, waste management and regenerative water management design.

Greywater 101 will cover the basics of water resources and techniques for reusing water. We will define grey- and black-water and go over different mechanism to recycle water, such as branch drain systems and laundry-to-landscape systems. Freshwater is a finite resource and we need to keep it fresh!

The nutrients in our excretions need to nourish the soil, not pollute our waterways!  As an eco artist she creates artworks that spark awareness about environmental issues (and solutions), especially related to water.  She believes wholeheartedly in the power of art to wake people up and stimulate change.

see some of her mischief at https://directory.weadartists.org/artist/christina-bertea  As a water activist she has been teaching greywater and rainwater installation workshops (and directly doing installations) for almost 10 years.
