2020 independent Press Award Winner--Green Book Category Rainwater
Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Volume 2 is a how-to guide
enabling you to "plant the rain" by creating water-harvesting
"earthworks" or "rain gardens." Earthworks are simple, inexpensive
strategies and landforms that passively harvest multiple sources of
free on-site water including rainfall, stormwater runoff, air
conditioning condensate, and greywater within "living tanks" of
soil and vegetation. The plants then pump the water back out in the
form of beauty, food, shelter, wildlife habitat, timber and forage,
while controlling erosion, reducing down-stream flooding, dropping
utility costs, increasing soil fertility, and improving water and
air quality. This revised and expanded full-color second edition
builds on the information in Volume 1 by showing you how to turn
your yard, school, business, park, and neighborhood into lively,
regenerative producers of resources. Conditions at home will
improve as you simultaneously enrich the ecosystem and inspire the
surrounding community. Learn to select, place, size, construct, and
plant your chosen earthworks. All is made easier and more effective
by the illustrations of natural patterns of water and sediment flow
with which you can collaborate or mimic. Detailed step-by-step
instructions with over 550 images show you how to do it, and
plentiful stories of success motivate you so you will do it!
