SUMMARY:Online - Scalable Solutions: Rainwater Harvesting - 2021 Water-Wise Speakers Series with Hays Trinity GCD
DESCRIPTION:Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District – Water-Wise Speaker Series \nFor more information contact Charlie Flatten\, General Manager at gm@haysgroundwater.com or 512-858-9253  \nThe Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District has announced its 2021 Water-Wise Speaker Series. Subject matter experts will discuss a variety of water topics important to Hays County residents.  \nHays County is listed by the US Census Bureau as the second fastest growing county in the United States. Great schools\, good housing\, proximity to growing business opportunities\, and a beautiful landscape are all drivers for our growth.  \nIts most precious resource is water. The Trinity Aquifer deep below has a limited recharge capacity and will not support the growth coming in the next 20-years. The County needs to maximize efficiency of use and diversify its water supply portfolio to keep local communities healthy and viable long into the future.  \nRainwater is already being collected on homesteads and larger buildings across Hays County. Water-wise landscaping\, land conservation\, and climate trends are all important parts of a strategy to protect our aquifers.  \nSpeakers will present at 5:30 live and online. Dial-in information will be on the District website www.HaysGroundwater.com the week before each presentation. Check the schedule for upcoming dates.  \nTopics will include:  \n\nScalable Solutions — Rainwater Harvesting: James Grizzard\, Harvest Rain – March 4\, 2021 \nWater Wise Lawns and Gardens: Hays County Master Naturalists – May 6\, 2021 \nWimberley One-Water School – Innovative Conservation Design: Nick Dornak\, Meadows Center for Water and the Environment – July 1\, 2021 \nBenefits of Land Conservation on Water Resources: Lori Olson\, Texas Land Trust Council – TBD \nClimate and Weather Trends in the Hill Country: John Nielson-Gammon\, State Climatologist – TBD \n\nClick here for the HTGCD Press Release – 2.22.21 \nHAYS TRINITY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT STAFF & BOARD  \nCharlie Flatten\, General Manager  \nPhilip Webster\, Hydrogeologist  \nKeaton Hoelscher\, Geo-Technician  \nLaura Thomas\, Office Administrator  \nHolly Fults\, President District 3  \nLinda Kaye Rogers\, Vice President District 4  \nJohn Worrall\, Treasurer/Secretary District 1  \nToby Shelton District 2  \nDoc Jones District 5
