This webinar addresses strategies for answering that question: “All of it!” Capturing rainwater passively in the soils of a landscape offsets future irrigation demand, reduces or eliminates polluted runoff from getting into our local waterways, cools the planet, and sets up a feedback loop of carbon sequestration, reduced energy use, and restoration of the local weather cycle Topics include:

• Difference between Active and Passive Capture

• Simple calculations necessary for creating permeability

• Why Nature-based solutions (Very Low Impact Design) are applicable in every landscape

• Ideas for increasing permeability in existing landscapes and updating historical gardens
