Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Vol I & II by Brad Lancaster is a must-have for those who understand the scarcity of clean, available water today, and want to make a difference on how they use water now. The need for water smarts was true in 2006 when I first found out about Brad and his organization, and it is true today.
These books are for a home library of people who are living as homesteaders, for those interested in a Permaculture, or sustainable future. It would benefit cities, towns, zoos, sanctuaries, and States to have their Waste Water management study this writing. Rainwater Harvesting, can make a world of difference.
If you are trying to figure out how to use more rain barrels, or larger tanks to cache water, show more these books are not of that philosophy, rather it is how to make every drop of water that falls near you count. Rainwater Harvesting can teach anyone how to evaluate their property and area, and make simple, but detailed plans on how to make a greener, and more abundant property. Not only does this affect homeowners, but entire communities as well.
These are more than books, they are guides for the future that holds very little clean water for us all. show less
