Rainsource Press Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Volume 2, 2nd Edition: Water-Harvesting Earthworks

I love this book. It inspired me to dig an infiltration trench from my rainwater gutter to my Ash tree in the front yard. I've also built two terraces that work great too. Thank you!

Deberían poner antes de darle a la opción a comprar el tiempo estimado de entrega. Una vez comprado fue cuando me avisan de que el tiempo de entrega iba a tardar varios meses. Muy mal

Excellent guide for creating a water-balanced landscape. Although it was written with the southwestern US climate in mind, I have been able to use the concepts in the BC Interior to mitigate our rainwater fluctuations: increasingly wet springs and dry summers. I highly recommend it.

A very informative book, with lots of practical ideas, designs, inspiring stories, and well thought out recommendations, which come from a long history of experimentation, research and successes in his personal experiences. The pictures are easy to understand, the material enjoyable and the author very likeable. It's a book that is hard to put down!A friend who operates an rainwater catchment/earthworks business, shaping farmland to capture and raintain water has read this book twice, refered it to me and keeps going back to the principals and designs constantly!A must for any beginner or experienced rainwater harverster - everyone in between!

Out of all the green infrastructure references I’ve collected over the years, this volume is the one that is the most dog-eared, coffee stained, and worn from field-visits and community-outreach events.I first came across this book about ten years ago in support of a water harvesting certification program offered by Watershed Management Group—a well-respected non-profit that does amazing work in my community. Using the techniques outlined in this volume, I championed several EPA-funded water harvesting projects along the US/Mexico border region on behalf of the State of Arizona (via EPA Border 2012/20 program). In that capacity, I have turned to this book dozens of times for its broad collection of practical applications and real world examples for brainstorming projects and engaging new stakeholders and friends. I've also used images and techniques from this volume to successfully engage my Home Owners Association on water saving strategies for common areas. On several occasions, I've gifted this book to my colleagues in Mexico in the hopes it would plant new seeds in far way locations for restoring our shared landscapes and sustainability of our communities. Given this context, purchasing the second edition was an easy decision.For those of you who own a previous edition and are debating whether to purchase the latest, don’t hesitate-- in addition to the new material, the color plates alone are amazing and WELL WORTH IT! For those of you who are new to rainwater harvesting, you've come to the right place. I only wish I had this color edition ten years ago when I was first getting started, sharing photos, and saying "Look at these amazing things we can do!"
