JC Raulston Arboretum – Raleigh, NC

Overview:

As water conservation becomes mandatory in some locales and smarter development techniques are needed, there are two stormwater practices that help meet newer design goals: green roofs and water harvesting (cisterns). This workshop serves as both an introduction to each practice and reviews design considerations for each. Research from NCSU studies on both green roofs and cisterns is presented as well. Participants will partially design both a green roof and a water harvesting system and are encouraged to bring a laptop with them.


Cistern located at the Prairie Ridge education facility for the NC Museum of Natural Sciences is used to flush toilets within the facility.	Green Roof at Wayne Community College in Goldsboro
