We don’t get much rain in Colorado. How can we make the most of the rain we get?

Jessica Thrasher is the Senior Program Manager of the Colorado Water Center at Colorado State University. On this episode of A Public Affair, she told us how to get started harvesting rainwater at home here in Colorado.

This feature aired in conjunction with an interview with rainwater harvesting expert Brad Lancaster. That special episode comes to us from Water Buffs at the Water Desk at the University of Colorado Boulder, and was executive produced and co-directed by Hannah Leigh Myers.
