This Spring, volunteer for a day with CivicSpark as we survey Californians about their landscape choices and outdoor watering practices. This is a unique opportuntiy to have a hand in improving water policy throughout California. Be part of a statewide team, working with the California Data Collaborative, to learn why your neighbors make the landscape choices they do.
We will be gathering information from about 2,000 households in March, April, and May about residents' landscaping choices, watering habits, and knowledge of state rebate programs. We need your help to conduct a door-to-door survey to identify key factors that stop individuals from converting their landscapes.
You can read more about the project on the CaDC website: http://californiadatacollaborative.org/blog/2017/2/1/civic-spark-cadc-outdoor-water-use-survey.
