Description: Get out your shovels and dance in the rain! That is what Brad Lancaster’s second volume in his trilogy on Rainwater Harvesting will make you want to do. Join Lancaster for a talk and book signing, as he shares his experiences traveling the world learning about harvesting rainwater, with simple landforms and earthworks, in places like India, Peru, Mexico, Africa and the U.S., where impoverished landscapes are turned into oases of life. Harvesting rainwater was once a worldwide technology, but was replaced
by pipes, canals, and sprinklers, inefficient and wasteful strategies
that are running dry. Lancaster shares techniques for designing landscapes that passively harvest water using low-tech, regenerative systems to hydrate the land and maximize the benefit that water brings to plants, animals and people.
