Greening Urban Watersheds: A Grassroots Approach to Water Harvesting and Resource Conservation
A Tucson-based non-profit organization, Watershed Management Group (WMG), is pursuing the sustainable development of local resources with the long-term vision being an improved quality of life for the greater community. WMG has developed several public demonstration sites around Tucson through outreach workshops involving local businesses, community organizations, schools, homeowners, and many others. The demonstration sites showcase rainwater harvesting efforts integrated with native landscaping, local food production, energy conservation, waste reduction, and community building.
Plant the Water Before the Tree - Help Your Tree Grow and Thrive with Rainwater!
You can save money, conserve water, reduce flooding, and grow a happier tree with rainwater harvesting! Your tree prefers rainwater over municipal water – which is higher in minerals and salts.
Plants native to the Sonoran desert can survive on local rainfall. Following the establishment of your new tree in your yard, ~2-3 years, they do not need extra irrigation Creating a rain basin is a simple and inexpensive way to harvest rainwater, allow it to soak deeply into the soil, and provide ample water for your tree.
