ARCSA is pleased to offer a comprehensive Rainwater Catchment Accredited Professional training course, November 12 & 13, 2015 at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center in Long Beach, California.

This two day workshop is an in-depth rainwater harvesting course required for those seeking ARCSA Accredited Professional (AP) status. This course provides attendees with knowledge for rainwater harvesting, both active and passive design and installation for both outdoor and in-home rainwater use; sanitation for potable uses; rules and regulations, guidelines and restrictions; business management; project planning; site and installation safety; and system construction and maintenance. Larger commercial systems will also be covered. The course includes a rainwater harvesting planning manual as part of the tuition.
 
With the ongoing water crisis in California, this workshop will focus on how rainwater harvesting relates to drought. California residents are encouraged to attend to learn to capture stormwater, while creating additional "reservoirs" to store water for future beneficial uses. You can't use it if you don't store it. Although we all hope for the "mega El Niño" that is supposed to relieve the immediate drought crisis, we still must realize that the crisis has two causes. Not enough rain and too many consumers with unchanging habits.
 
Tuition is $395 for ARCSA Members, $495 for non-Members, and includes the new ARCSA Rainwater Harvesting Manual. Lunch is provided both days.

Sign up early to ensure seating. To become an ARCSA Accredited Professional, there is an additional $150.00 testing fee and ARCSA membership is required. ARCSA membership is $75 annually. Register online here and sign up for membership here.
