\t\t\t\tThanks to Brook Sarson, Rainwater and Greywater Consultant, Installer and Educator, for presenting to our Global Gals on April 12.\u00a0 Brook has her electrical engineering and math degrees.\u00a0 After 4 years out of the workforce to raise kids, she decided to head back to work but in an area in which she has passion. She took off to Arizona for a one-month perma-culture class.\u00a0 Now she helps people understand the essence of water issues here in San Diego.<\/p>\n
Only 20% of San Diego’s water comes from local sources.\u00a0 The other 80% comes from hundreds miles away known as the Colorado River.\u00a0 The San Diego Water District states that 140 gallons of water per person per day are used in San Diego.\u00a0 A 500 square foot lawn takes 13,000 gallons of water to keep it green.\u00a0 That’s alot of water!<\/p>\n
Brook helps residential property owners\/renters collect greywater and use it effectively in their yards.\u00a0 Greywater is collected from laundry machines and bathrooms sinks, moves through a valve and pipes, and runs out into the backyard.\u00a0 She’ll come to your home for a consultation to determine if and how water can be collected and used.\u00a0 Her fee is $75 and the consultation takes about 1 1\/2 hours.\u00a0 To install a shower system costs approximately $700.<\/p>\n
