Integrated Water Systems Design with Art Ludwig

Ecological design for Drought, Fire, Flood, Climate, and More!
Art will discuss how integrating solutions to address the diversity of climate issues is the key to revolutionary improvements to the ecology, economy and sustainability of home, landscape and city. Drought resilience is just one of many benefits from considering all the relevant design factors at once.

Art Ludwig is an ecological systems designer with 28 years full-time experience in water, wastewater systems, energy, shelter and human powered transport. His specialty is complex, integrated "systems of systems." Art has studied and worked in 22 different countries, consulted for the states of New York and New Mexico on water reuse policy, and given dozens of lectures and workshops.

This evening presentation will include; the necessity for systems thinking, the water-energy-climate connection, how to make an accurate four dimensional map of your context, how to dramatically improve the water budget on your land, the role of humans in the ecosystem, conventional vs integrated design, green infrastructure, and much more.
