Create Abundant Gardens With Graywater
About This Course
Graywater is “lightly used” domestic wastewater generated in households or office buildings from streams such as sinks, showers, baths, washing machines or dishwashers. It does not include water that may be contaminated with human waste, such as toilet water. As potable water becomes more precious, installing a graywater system (especially Laundry-to-Landscape) helps property owners water their landscapes by re-using what they already have. Join graywater expert, Brook Sarson from Catching H2O for this introduction to graywater.
Eligible for CEUs.

Brook Sarson
Brook Sarson is the owner of Catching H2O. Although she started her career as an electrical engineer, after she had her two sons, she realized she wanted to do something that positively impacted their future. She did some soul-searching and decided she wanted to help her community deal with water issues. Having traveled to Australia and Arizona and seen firsthand how easy and meaningful rainwater and gray-water harvesting were there, she realized that she could fulfill her mission by becoming a resource to facilitate simple, home water-harvesting strategies. Since 2008, she has installed over a thousand graywater systems.
