HydroCats
When one of life’s basic ingredients only makes an appearance a few times each year here in the desert, it’s wise to capture what you can and use it as responsibly as possible. The HydroCats Committee is part of a paradigm shift in Tucson’s approach to storm-water management and green infrastructure and our mission is to train a team of students in the design, management, and installation of water harvesting systems in the greater Tucson community.
