Alcatraz Island
san francisco, california
Since 2005, the Alcatraz Gardens Project has been restoring and replanting the historic gardens of Alcatraz Island. In the past, irrigation water was imported to the island from San Francisco to irrigate the drought tolerant plants that have been selected to restore the gardens. In an effort to achieve a more sustainable solution, WaterSprout designed and constructed a 15,000 gallon rainwater catchment system to irrigate the restored historic gardens.
