If we want thriving landscapes,
abundant
food,
strong communities, and sustainable economies, we can start by
treasuring
the rain.
Join Nate Downey, author of the newly published book Harvest the
Rain for a talk and book-signing event,
as he shares thoughts and strategies
for
taking advantage of rain, a precious resource that falls free from the
sky.
For millennia, people relied on rainwater harvesting to supply water
for
households, landscape, livestock, and agricultural uses. Today, our
planet's water shortage is a reality for people worldwide, but actually
enough precipitation falls annually to provide ample water for
everybody. We simply have to collect, store, distribute, and reuse
just a small percentage of that which falls from the sky.
Fortunately this way of saving the world comes with perks such as
increasing your property's value, lowering your utility bills, or
simply
creating a comfortable oasis outside your door.
Nate Downey shows you the way with his practical book that anyone can
use
to begin implementing rainwater harvesting designs today.
Harvest the Rain is low tech, designed for everyone,
everywhere,
even for those with limited time and money. In addition to
cisterns, gray water, and earthworks, the book shares important ways to
help protect your local watershed.
Nate Downey has been a successful permaculture landscape designer and
installer for eighteen years with his company Santa Fe Permaculture; a
columnist for the last twelve years for the Santa Fe New Mexican Real
Estate Guide, and a past President of the Permaculture Credit
Union. He published Roof Reliant Landscaping in
2008.
