Raindrops and Rooftops: Discover Rain Gardens and Blue Roofs With CVC
October 24 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Help us Build a Resilient Community, Prepared for Intense Rainfall
Join us for a presentation by CVC’s Integrated Watershed Management (IWM) team and learn how you can prepare your homes, schools and communities for intense rainfall. The presentation will be held at George Kennedy Public School. Following the presentation, the IWM team will lead a tour of George Kennedy Public School's newly installed rain garden.
Presentation topics include:
- CVC’s Smart Blue Roof, a system that reuses rainwater, reduces runoff and helps prevent flooding by using the rainwater for toilet flushing in the office or slowly releasing it into the stormwater system
- The importance of rainwater management in preparing for climate change and helping to reduce the impacts of flooding in your community
- Our newest school-based rain garden at George Kennedy Public School
