Description
Learn about rainwater monitoring and harvesting and how community efforts can improve our relationship with water. You could win a Recharge NOLA rain barrel. This program is part of the Little Library of Water Program Series developed by the Library and Imagine Water Works and sponsored by Waggonner & Ball, The Nature Generation, and Friends of the New Orleans Public Library. Check out the new Recharge Mobile Unit. This outdoor education station on wheels features informational boards on the water cycle, our watershed, green infrastructure, and details the basics on how to build and install a rain barrel.
ISeeChange will teach us how our stories and data can help the city monitor, measure, and better adapt to increasingly intense rainstorms and local flooding. They will also demonstrate how the data we collect can provide additional situational awareness during storms, but can also help inform where to focus stormwater mitigation efforts. Attendees who register will receive free rain gauges to record the designed storm events and water heights in their neighborhoods.
