The 2011 Rainwater Revival was a smashing success.  Thank you to all who participated!

From the seven hills of ancient Rome to today’s Texas Hill Country, rainwater collection has spanned the globe and the ages. To celebrate this timeless conservation practice, rainwater collection professionals and enthusiasts converged just outside of Austin in Dripping Springs, Texas on Saturday, October 8, 2011 for the 2nd annual Rainwater Revival. The festive day was filled with informative and entertaining presentations by professionals and users of rainwater, water conservation-related business vendor booths, rainwater system displays, and plenty of experts to provide guidance and services; as well as food booths, shopping, live music, plus much more!

Rainwater Revival supports the mission to spread the good word about rainwater harvesting and water conservation, the importance of which grows with our ever increasing population.

In addition to a roster of speakers providing an experienced cross-section of rainwater collection knowledge, the Rainwater Revival featured a collection of 55-gallon recycled rain barrels transformed into works of art by Hill Country artists. The barrels were displayed around Hays County during the weeks leading up to the Rainwater Revival and then auctioned off at the event.
