_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/
*for a talk and book-signing event, 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.
