Learn about water harvesting in new Sustainable World Radio podcast with Jeff
Adams, owner of Terra Sophia Ecological Design Co.
http://www.terrasophia.com/index.html

In this episode, Permaculture Designer Jeff Adams talks about practical ways
to design landscapes that conserve water. It doesn't matter if you live in an
extremely wet or dry climate, design strategies exist that can save you
water, resources and money! Jeff Adams has years of experience in
regenerating watershed health and is a lead instructor for the American
Rainwater Catchment Systems Association's Accredited Professional Training.
Owner of Terra Sophia, Ecological Design Consulting and Education Firm, Jeff
says that soil is the largest and cheapest water tank that we have. In this
podcast Jeff talks about rain gardens, purposeful and purposeless turf, green
infrastructure and why it's time for us to pay attention to the water cycle.
