| Impact Report | 2009 Program Year: Over 30 visits, phone calls, or emails from the public regarding rainwater harvesting have occurred over the past 12 months. In addition, VCEMG volunteers have developed a plant clinic curriculum on the seven principles of landscape water conservation, which includes ancient methods of water conservation, new techniques (e.g. drip irrigation), and rainwater harvesting. These plant clinics, held at local schools, community fairs, events, and businesses have resulted in approximately 1,000 personal interactions with the public, of which VCEMG volunteers estimate at least 80% were related to water conservation in the home landscape. In addition, recent Middle Rio Grande water use statistics indicated a decline in urban and agricultural water consumption in the Middle Rio Grande. |
