Greetings!
As California suffers through the drought of 2008, every drop of water becomes more
and more precious.
The American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001SrcZkzCSUYSrBzWo9Ayzkcjo4vGBpngyGleEVIlDKOIj7IDP3jWkcupMXRf3yrOs1aX-0S-zk631G2C30uBtj2xYKgpSTodE_fzb9ifMCls=](ARCSA)
is holding its national conference in Santa Monica this September to help educate
utilities, water department managers, policy-makers, landscape architects, home
builders, business owners, and homeowners on new and improved ways to collect, store,
and re-use the rain.
Rainwater catchment eases stormwater management concerns while allowing people to
water their plants without violating urban watering restrictions. It reduces individuals'
and businesses' water bills, while also lessening the strain on cities' infrastructure.
We invite you to join us at this conference, September 15 - 18, 2008, and learn
more about the rainwater catchment movement that's taking the nation by storm.
For complete details, see the conference website [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001SrcZkzCSUYTm8nBDQ6dsrCyV4YTFObq-dLcLdbdqhBM9jkFdA_XeTccs-SsAu__8jjU0wN3qtubPLD7tuQd3M-V_pCxy8-RI3PaD6V6w4EXN4j5CccNXq_1N6bIeknW1ml1vooUXqS0=].
