In a rebroadcast from Oct. 9, 2010, Bill & Norma talk with Billy Kniffen, now-retired Texas A&M Program Specialist, Water Resource Management. Kniffen explains the concept of rainwater harvesting, and why even only 1-inch of rain can amount to 600+ gallons of rainwater. How can we best contain that rainwater and use it to our benefit? Kniffen himself lives solely on rainwater - he has no well and no municipal water supply.

On Thursday, August 8, you can attend a rainwater harvesting workshop at the Ascarate Community Garden, from 6-8 p.m. Info: Call Denise Rodriguez 915-860-2515.
