From a rooftop swamp cooler watering a desert hackberry to a ferrocement cistern that holds 1,300 gallons of water, Saturday’s third annual Home-Scape Tour covers a wide variety of water-harvesting systems.
The systems at the self-guided tour’s some dozen home sites, two government landscapes and Manzo Elementary School were created with the help of Watershed Management Group, or WMG.
The nonprofit group runs a cooperative that organizes volunteers who help build water-harvesting systems. It also offers workshops.
