"Turn water scarcity into water abundance! These books show you how to
conceptualize, design, and implement sustainable water-harvesting
systems for your home, landscape, and community. They enable you to
access your on-site resources (rainwater, greywater, topsoil, sun,
plants, and more), give you a diverse array of strategies to maximize
their potential, and empower you with guiding principles to create an
integrated, multi-functional, and water-sustainable water-harvesting
landscape plan specific to your site and needs. These books will help
bring your site to life, reduce your cost of living, endow yourself
and your community with skills of self-reliance and cooperation, and
create living air conditioners of vegetation growing beauty, food, and
wildlife habitat. Stories of people who are successfully welcoming
rain into their life and landscape will invite you to do the same!"
