Join us for an enlightening presentation on the various ways to repurpose what you may consider just rain water or ground water into more sustainable and environmentally conscientious ways.  

At a time when we are aware of the importance of water conservation, we invite Isaac DaRowe, founder of Earthwater Design Solutions, Inc. to share with us about rainwater harvesting, what it is, and how he has been introducing communities to alternative sources of available water here on Cape Ann.  Isaac believes we can shift the paradigm from what we commonly waste into productive resources with information and motive. 

About Isaac DaRowe - Isaac founded Earthwater Design Solutions, Inc. due to his passion for water harvesting and a desire to eliminate wastefulness in our modern day society by using the natural systems found in nature as models for our water problems. Isaac earned a BS in Environmental Science and has worked for the City of Gloucester Health Department, leading engineering firms in the area and a landscape design build firm.

Isaac's ability to combine successful engineering practices with a creative approach has allowed him to achieve great success throughout the North Shore's most challenging sites. Isaac is organized and detail oriented and works closely with community members to understand each unique project's needs. He is a ARCSA certified rainwater harvesting designer, NGICP certified green infrastructure practitioner, a Massachusetts state-licensed soil evaluator, septic system inspector, registered sanitarian, Bottomless Sand Filter designer and a New Hampshire state-licensed septic system designer.

Most recently Isaac completed a permaculture rainwater harvesting training that helps his focus remain on practical science-backed methods to provide pure and safe water for all applications.

Isaac is an active member of the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association (ARCSA), the nation’s leading source for sustainable rainwater harvesting practices. He is also a member of the Ecological Landscape Alliance (ELA) and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) – Sustainable SITES initiative.
