The recent drought in California has inspired some businesses and nonprofits to find ways to conserve water.
One way is reusing rainwater. And all these atmospheric rivers are having a positive impact on that.
"When the kids are learning all of those lessons, we want them to learn about growing food and all of the bits about having an educational garden," Lee said. "Water conservation and water capture is part of that curriculum. So it's a demonstration system in addition to it actually providing the water that would be needed to satisfy some portion of the water budget for that garden.
"As the rain falls on the roof it's diverted into a series of pipes that leads into tanks in our winery that we then capture the water in," said Jim Sturgeon, of La Crema Winery. "We then run that water through a filtration system. We then move that into another set of what we call closed top tanks where it's stored, and it's then pumped into our refrigeration system to use in its cooling tower to help cool down our winery when it gets hot during the summer days.
"We've had to deal with some mud, and close roads and other things but definitely, when we're talking about a positive coming out of this, it's how do we capture this critical resource here in California, especially in wine country that has water captured and use it for something in the future that otherwise would be pulled from the ground," Sturgeon said.
