James Grizzard, volunteer/consultant with Johnson County Soil and Water Conservation District and Rainscaping Iowa, spoke on different types of rainwater systems, their installation and the costs and savings these systems can provide, Tuesday, March 15th, 2011. Noon-1pm, Bettendorf Fire Station, Surrey Heights Location, 5002 Crow Creek Road, Bettendorf.

Upon graduating from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, with a degree in Anthropology,  Grizzard traveled to Ecuador for an archeological dig and was inspired  by the rainwater harvesting done by the indigenous people.  

Upon his return to Texas, he consulted, bid and installed rainwater harvesting systems for nearly 5 years with Innovative Water Solutions, a full-service water conservation system design build company that specializes in water demand and supply management in residential and commercial projects, creating rainwater harvesting, graywater reuse, and irrigation systems as well as drainage improvements and landscape solutions.
