Saturday in Dripping Springs was beautiful! The sun was shining, it was about 84 degrees, But it sure was wet!
The Rainwater Revival was a hit. The information on Rainwater Collection and Storage was plentiful, from Green Builders, to Tanks, you couldn't have been in a more water friendly place. The refreshments were wet too. With demonstrations regarding runoff water from farms and roads to eager to learn kids and adults, the Rainwater Revival Festival in Dripping Springs sure did enlighten me to the importance of water conservation. Did you knowthat Texas leads the nation in rainwater collection? Did you knowthat only 4-5% of rain that falls over the area ends up recharging the Trinity Aquifer? Did you know we get our water from the Trinity Aquifer? Did you know that 1,000 sf. of roof can yield 625 gallons of water? Now You know!. Think about July and August when your lawn is thirsty, but the guilt of watering it outweighs the needfor the greenest grass in the neighborhood. There were several rainwater barrels that were painted beautifully by several local artists that went up for auction, with the proceeds going to Hays County Schools to implement classes or projects for water conservation. Great Day! Thanks to all the sponsors.
