More on Rainwater Harvesting and Management
Interstate 5 in Chehalis, December 4, 2007
In case you weren't following the news earlier in the month, this area (North Western Washington) suffered through a Pineapple Express storm that resulted in massive flooding. Weeks later, things are still drying out.
The local radio station brought Michael Broili of Living Systems Design on the air December 4 to talk about ways to mitigate flooding by rethinking the way we handle all of our water needs. He's the guy that taught the rainwater harvesting class I took last year, and who designed and installed the Phinney Neighborhood Center system I photographed for the journal entry.
Listen to the show on their online archive. He has a lot of great stuff to say.
Oh, and on this subject, I'll give this teaser: I have dug a big hole in my backyard. Details to follow.
