The Water Smart Outdoor Water Use conservation workshop hosted by the City of Atlanta is available online at http://atlanta.acrobat.com/p13639929/.
The free workshop focuses on innovative and unique ways to conserve water while maintaining a beautiful landscape. It features sessions on rain barrels, irrigation systems, green roof design, use of organic material, turf maintenance and caring for trees in a drought.
The workshop is one of a series of initiatives the Department is undertaking in its efforts to meet Mayor Shirley Franklin’s goal of a 10 percent reduction in water usage citywide. The City also is spending $1 billion on drinking water infrastructure improvements to repair leaks and repair and replace meters and mains; helping finance water conservation audits for large customers; and taking steps to reduce usage among its various departments.
