EXPO IN THE GREEN SPACE
(CAMBRIA) Water conservation was the center piece of an Expo
in the East Village, on the banks the Santa Rosa Creek.
The GreenSpace Creekside preserve, near the red Temple provided a lovely setting
for discussion and presentation.
An overview of the Santa Rosa Creek watershed provides a graphic
portrayal of our interdependence.
Cambrians bring curiosity, concern and caring. The source and use of water
is always news here.
is always news here.
Those who filtered through found information relevant to conservation and water quality. Presentations provided understanding of individual home owner and personal applications including water re-use.
There was interest across several demographic groups.

For five hours people came, heard, learned and moved more knowledge into the
already informed Cambria constituency. A major take away of the Expo was the undeniable value of a more efficient use of rainwater harvesting and a more
diligent push for individual use of gray water applications for irrigation.
Retrofits are relatively simple and inexpensive for laundry to landscape irrigation.
Gray water use for toilets makes enormous sense. Those retrofits are slightly more involved, but are easier to accomplish when part of the original building design.
This is true no matter where on this planet you live.
The path along the creek is an appropriate place to meditate on the value
of a more intelligent and conscientious approach to water use and conservation.
Conservation and wise use is more natural and less expensive than other
alternatives.
Thanks to Katherine and Rick for their concern and for the platform to learn.
RAIN IN MAY?
As one of the meteorologists said, a significant rain, this late in the season is unusual.
This pushes our yearly total on the ridge to 35.6 in a La Nina year. It is an unexpected and surprising total. Not everyone is pleased.
Nesta and Ziggy don't like damp paws.
See you down the trail.
