Our program provides the highest quality and greatest depth of training in integrative water harvesting offered in the nation.

The course teaches design, implementation, and installation of:

  • Greywater systems

Watershed Technical Trainings

 

Program Overview

WMG's Watershed Technical Trainings (WTT) are hands-on design and implementation trainings to build the knowledge and skills of practitioners.  As a non-profit organization, WMG's goal is to offer green job trainings based in collaboration not competition; build applied skills of professionals; and teach universal principles and systems instead of product promotion.  Our courses bring together a wide variety of people, such as architects, engineers, resource managers, consultants, educators, policy makers, and community activists. 

The cost per training is $450 for early registration, and $500 for regular registration.  Alumni of the WMG's Water Harvesting Certification or other Technical Trainings receive a $50 discount on the registration costs. The cost includes snacks and a gourmet lunch made with locally sourced produce, as well as a Certificate of Completion for full course attendance.
