| Impact Report | Rainwater Harvesting Program A program on “Rainwater Harvesting” was presented three times this past reporting year in Chaves County by the agent. The presentation included information on the advantages and benefits of rainwater harvesting, elements of a simple and a complex water harvesting system, and examples of various catchment systems, conveyance systems, and modifications of landscape areas. The presentations were given to two different garden club groups and at a public program at the Roswell Public Library. A total of 35 individuals attended the presentations and gained information on utilizing rainwater for water conservation and to promote plant health. In times of drought and with higher populations drawing on the limited water resources of the state, audiences are very interested learning how to capture and utilize rainwater. |
