_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/ 
on October 20, 7-9:30pm *for a talk and book-signing event at the *Santa 
Barbara Public Library, Faulkner Gallery,* 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.

The event takes place on *Thursday,* *October 20, 7- 9:30pm, at the 
Santa Barbara Central Library, Faulkner Gallery, 40 E. Anapamu St, 
(93101)* in downtown Santa Barbara.  Donation $5, no reservations 
required.  The event is sponsored by the Santa Barbara Permaculture 
Network & the Permaculture Credit Union.
