SUMMARY:“Aquifers and Aquitards\, Long Rains and Long Droughts:  Quadra Island’s Water Cycle is … Complicated.  Implications for Gardeners”
DESCRIPTION:Free for members/$3 for guests \nINCLUDING THE FOLLOWING TOPICS: \nQuadra Climate: Normal and Extremes \nThe Sunshine Coast and Discovery Islands region exhibits extreme\nseasonality of precipitation\, with the least coming when it is most\nneeded for gardening.  Of course\, there is an upside to this due to\nlong sunshine hours supporting plant growth during the height of the\ngrowing season.  It appears that this seasonality will be getting\nmore extreme as the global climate changes.  What limitations does\nthis pose for gardeners? What can we do to adapt? \nAquifers and Aquitards on Quadra Island \nWhat do we know and not know about groundwater aquifers on Quadra?\nWhat additional information would be useful in the case of either\nincreased irrigation demand or more extended droughts?  The\ncharacteristics of the Quadra aquitards are both a limitation and a\ndistinguishing benefit for Quadra Island as compared with other\nislands. \nHydraulic characteristics of typical south Quadra topsoil and\nsubsoils with emphasis on seasonal water excesses and deficits. \nTechnical detail about the dominant topsoil types (Fine Sandy and\nSilty Loam) presenting issues and opportunities for gardening. \nRainwater Capture and storage \nHow to make the most effective use of stored rainwater. \nGreywater retention and use \nPotential volumes\, plumbing\, storage\, and use limitations. \nSome techniques for water conservation \nHügelkultur beds\, keyline swales\, organic soil enhancements\,\nxeriscaping or water-wise landscaping\, mulching.  An invitation will\nbe extended to the audience to add to this list\, and describe\ntechniques that they have tried on Quadra. \nPLUS Coffee\, Desserts\, Show & Tell Table\, Plant & Seed Table…all\nthat fun stuff! \nFor more info contact quadraislandgardenclub@gmail.com
