1 Tucson Water s Rainwater Harvesting Incentive Workshop Provided as a community service by A 501(c)3 Non-profit organization
2 Rainwater Harvesting Systems Capturing rainwater for beneficial use 1. Harvest the supply: collect rainfall from roofs, patios, and other surfaces 2. Store it for later use: a) In the soil (Passive Systems) allows plants to access moisture stored in the soil b) In a tank (Active Systems) allows long-term storage and distribution when needed 3. Benefit from the rain: reduce/eliminate potable water demand for irrigation or other water needs
3 Residential Resources Potential Annual Rainwater Supply: Roof, 1000sf = 6,000 gallons/yr Landscape, 1000sf = 3,000 gallons/yr Total Rainwater potential for 1/5 acre > 45,000 gallons/yr + Greywater! (~ ,000 gal) + AC condensate! (~ gal) Annual Municipal Water Demand: Total Use = 80gal/person/day x 3 persons/home x 365 days = 87,600 gallons/yr Outdoor use (~30% of total) = 26,280 gallons/yr
4 Why harvest rainwater? Rain and greywater is free, save $$$ Energy savings local vegetation cooling benefits less water to transport & treat Higher quality water for plants (rainwater) Reduce flooding and stormwater pollutants Reduce vulnerability to drought & rising price of water Increase vegetation without increasing city water usage Increased soil moisture, healthier soils?

8 Learning Objectives How to save potable water use Select appropriate strategies Ensure best practices Enhance quality of life - grow shade and food while saving potable water Submit a successful rebate application
9 5 Steps to Saving Outdoor Water 1. Check monthly your irrigation system and settings! 2. Plant the water (basins) & plant low-water natives 3. Use organic mulch 4. Plan to not irrigate your native landscape after 3 years 5. Scale your veggies or fruit water use to your rain and greywater supply
10 Incentives Program Rebate Who qualifies? Residential and small commercial Tucson Water customers Small commercial is a property with a single meter that is 5/8 or 3/4 inches.

29 Remember those Water HarvestingFromPRINCIPLES Brad Lancaster s, Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond
30 Water Harvesting Principles 1. Begin with Long and Thoughtful Observation
31 Water Harvesting Principles 2. Start at the Top
32 Water Harvesting Principles 3. Start small and simple
33 Water Harvesting Principles 4. Spread and infiltrate the flow of water
34 Water Harvesting Principles 5. Always plan for an overflow route and manage overflow as a resource
35 Water Harvesting Principles 6. Maximize living and organic groundcover
36 Water Harvesting Principles 7. Maximize beneficial relationships and efficiency STACKING FUNCTIONS
37 Water Harvesting Principles 8. Continually reassess your system
38 And be sure to have FUN!
39 Passive Systems An Overview 1. Collection 2. Conveyance 3. Infiltration
40
41 Passive Rainwater Harvesting Analyze your site Where is water already gathering? How can you get the water to where you need it? Are their any additional sources of water (e.g. AC condensate, greywater, stormwater, etc)
42 Make your earthworks meaningful! Size for a large rainfall event = 1 to sq.ft roof 1 rain 600 gallons! 10ft x 16ft x 6 depth basin = 600 gallons
43 Plant the Rainwater with Passive Earthworks Let s Plant the Water! April 2011 Benefit/Cost: $4.4 returned for every $1 invested
44 Right Plant, Right Place
45 Curb Cut / Core drill

50 Tank Systems Overview Wet Inflow Catchment Collection Leaf Diverter First Flush Inflow Overflow Rain garden Dry Inflow
51 Review: Rain Tank Best Management Practices And don t forget! Secured lid Overflow pipe Vent (often built in) Freeze protection Keep sunlight out UV resistant materials Inflow pipe diameter = outflow pipe diameter Screened entry points (critter & mosquito proof)
52 Do I need to permit my tank? City of Tucson: tucsonaz.gov/water/how-to-qualify-for-rainwater-harvesting-rebate County or other jurisdiction or HOA = CHECK!

69 Create your Local Water Budget! watershedmg.org/water-budget-calculator
70 How much water do your plants need? Mesquite or Palo Verde = 4,000-5,000 gal/yr Full citrus, high-water use tree = 8,000 gal/yr Pomegranate, mod-water use tree = 3,000 gal/yr Lawn & Veggie Garden, very-high water use = ~40-50 gal/sqft/yr If you have an existing landscape Review your water bill: compare winter use with summer use; the difference is your landscape irrigation
71 5 Steps to Saving Outdoor Water 1. Check monthly your irrigation system and settings! 2. Plant the water (rain basins) & plant low-water natives 3. Use organic mulch 4. Plan to not irrigate your native landscape after 3 years 5. Scale your veggies or fruit water use to your supply 700sf roof => 2000gal rain tank 100 sf vegetable garden or 2 full-size citrus trees
72 We ve reached the end of the class! Please remember to initial next to your name on the sign in sheet to get credit for the class We will send the attendance list for the class to Tucson Water, so they will know you have met the rebate class requirement If you d like more info about a site consultation, please mark Yes on the sign in sheet Don t forget to sign up for the River Run Network and our weekly Tucson Action Bulletin We will be available for the next hour to answer questions and review your plans N
