Get out your shovels and dance in the rain!
That is what Brad Lancaster’s 2nd volume in his trilogy on Rainwater
Harvesting will make you want to do!
Rainwater Harvesting Earthworks are one of the easiest, least expensive, and
most effective ways of passively harvesting and conserving multiple sources
of water in the soil. Building on the information presented in Volume 1,
Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Vol 2, shows you how to
select, place, size, construct, and plant your chosen water-harvesting
earthworks. It presents detailed how-to information and variations of a
diverse array of earthworks, including chapters on mulch, vegetation, and
greywater recycling so you can customize the techniques to the unique
requirements of your site. Returns come in the form of beauty, food,
shelter, wildlife habitat, and passive heating and cooling strategies, while
controlling erosion, increasing soil fertility, reducing downstream
flooding, and improving water and air quality.
Brad Lancaster has been active teaching, designing, and consulting on the
sustainable design system of Permaculture & integrated rainwater harvesting
systems since 1993. He lives what he teaches on a thriving, award-winning
eighth of an acre urban Permaculture site he created in Tucson, Arizona.
Plan on buying and having autographed by Brad several copies of the book for
holiday gifts!
