OUR CLIENTS

Thank you to all of our clients and collaborators for choosing to integrate innovative water conservation systems into their lives . We have  enjoyed working in a community that shares the same values and invests in water and land stewardship projects. 

OUR STORY

During California's drought conditions of 2005, a group of builders and ecologists founded DIG Cooperative Inc. and built the first permitted residential constructed wetland for greywater treatment in California. The greywater wetland is located at the Berkeley Ecology Center's EcoHouse. We continue to pioneer permitted greywater reuse and rainwater catchment systems across the greater Bay Area. Our work is driven by a commitment to protect and conserve freshwater and creating a water secure future for generations to come.

OUR VALUES/MISSION

Our team is committed to regenerative ecology, quality craftsmanship and creative collaboration. We work with clients to integrate  the natural forces of water into their homes and landscapes to create drought resilient, productive habitats. Our mission is to assist people in water stewardship  principles using practical solutions.

DESIGN/BUILD

We view each site as a whole-system organism and provide a comprehensive approach to water conservation, reuse, rainwater harvesting, erosion control, flood mitigation, earthquake and emergency preparedness, fire fighting and drought tolerant design. Our design philosophy draws from the principles of Permaculture which are derived from observations of nature, are multi-cultural and are specific to each community and site .
