BOERNE – An upcoming conference in Boerne will help people tap into
harvesting rainwater for indoor and outdoor use, according to Texas
Cooperative Extension organizers.
The conference will be Sept. 25 at the Boerne Convention and Community
Center, 820 Adler Road. Registration begins at 8 a.m., with the program
from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"Rainwater harvesting directly benefits our communities," said Bruce
Lesikar, Extension agricultural engineer and conference organizer.
"Rainwater harvesting reduces demand on the water supply and reduces
run-off. Slowing run-off helps to reduce the quantity of contaminants that
enter our streams and rivers."
Conference topics include rainwater harvesting components, in-home
rainwater use, rainfall patterns, sanitation, landscape, and operation and
maintenance.
For more information, contact Kay Sanders at 979-845-7694 or go to

for conference exhibitors is $125.
