2005 Rainwater Harvesting Series

An article in the Fall 2005 issue of Watermark Magazine summarizes the Rainwater Harvesting Series that was organized by a partnership comprising the British Columbia Water & Waste Association, Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation, Province of BC, Capital Regional District and Canadian Water Resources Association.

“Drawing on the experience of two international experts, workshops held in Vancouver and in Victoria connected the dots between why harvest rainwater and how to cost-effectively implement rainwater collection, storage, treatment and delivery systems,” wrote Colwyn Sunderland of the Capital Regional District.

“The rainwater harvesting workshops have produced immediate results. Delegates left the workshops with a new understanding of the similarities in the challenges we now face in BC to those that Australians, Germans, Japanese and others are beginning to overcome through innovations such as rainwater harvesting.”
