| Impact Report | Home-owners in the Valencia County vicinity participated in a workshop discussing practical ways to conserve water in their urban setting. Program participants were introduced to water-harvesting techniques using the RGBI Rainwater Harvesting Demonstration at the Valencia County office. Each participant was given a water conservation kit, which included shower timers, bucket, leak detector, and other miscellaneous supplies that could be used to improve water use efficiency within their home and landscape. Over half of program participants intended to use some form of landscape water harvesting and efficient irrigation methods discussed at the workshop, which included olla irrigation, rain barrel, runoff diversion, and drip irrigation. Additionally, when surveyed, all program participants agreed that the information provided was very useful, the presentations were excellent, and much knowledge was gained by attending this free workshop. |
