Tucson currently gets 90 percent of its water pumped through the Colorado River, more than 300 miles away.
For the past six years, the non-profit Tucson Clean and Beautiful have been working to preserve and improve Tucson’s environment through the Rain Works program.
The organization is funded through Tucson Water and she says it began in 2017 thanks to grassroots efforts in the community. The program aims to make use of Tucson’s limited rainfall of around 11 inches per year, with most of that rain coming during the summer season. Casebeer said these systems can"provide water conservation benefits and shade benefits [that are] huge for the neighborhoods."
