Join Brad Lancaster for an inspiring presentation on water-harvesting earthworks that turn scarcity into abundance. Both the new talk, and the new book “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Volume 2: Water-Harvesting Earthworks” feature:

  • How Indian villagers in the most populated desert of the world turned a wasteland into an oasis by harvesting the rain
  • How progressive individuals, neighborhoods, and cities are redirecting street runoff to passively irrigate flourishing shade trees planted along the street, create food-producing greenways, and control flooding
  • How check dams have helped create springs and perennial flows in once-dry creeks
  • How backyard greywater laundromats are turning “wastewater” into a resource growing food, beauty, and shade that builds community, and more
  • How ordinary folks are enhancing their community by becoming water-harvesting superheroes – and how you can too!
