Brad Lancaster will present his findings and stories from his 2007
research trip to Australia. He’ll talk about how rainwater harvesting
tanks – once illegal in the major cities of Australia – is now legal,
rebated, and mandated on all new home construction. That’s just the
beginning. Water-harvesting business, practices, and progressive
installations will also be discussed.
Brad will be joined by guest presenter Craig Sponholtz. Craig has
extensive experience teaching, designing, and implementing water harvesting,
erosion control and stream restoration projects. He focuses on very effective, low-cost systems using on-hand materials. These are little-known strategies ideally suited for Arizona. Craig’s company, Dryland Solutions, Inc. works throughout the southwest on public and private lands.
