You can view the 24 Carrots menu here. \nThe Valley gets about 8 inches of rainfall per year—but do you know how many potential gallons of harvested rainwater that translates to? We’ll show how you can harvest thousands of gallons of water each year at your own home to use less water from the city and save on your water bill. Then\, we’ll use your new water budget to match up your harvested water to native plants\, desert trees\, and even citrus trees you can grow in your yard. \nHydrate project: Water budget and action plan for your home
