What if your county paid you to store rainwater harvesting and helped protect local streams with sustainable water practices?
In this episode of The Water Champions Podcast, Paul Mann speaks with Noelle Johnson, Deputy Director at Goldridge Resource Conservation District, who led one of California’s most successful rainwater harvesting rebate programs focused on water efficiency and water reuse.
Noelle shares how they built the program from the ground up, secured funding from multiple agencies, partnered with cities and nonprofits, and offered rebates for rainwater harvesting up to $5,000 for homeowners seeking well water alternatives and improved water management. The result? Over 100 systems installed and more than 350,000 gallons of localized water storage added across Sonoma County through effective stormwater capture.
