The site, harvestingrainwater.org features all of Brad Lancester’s work including his award-winning bookseries, Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond with the goal of empowering clients and his community to make positive change in their own lives and yards, by harvesting and enhancing free on-site resources such as water, sun, wind, shade, and more.
Books (available for purchase) explain what water harvesting is, how to do it appropriately, and how to tailor water-harvesting strategies to the unique conditions of different sites and integrate it with the harvest of other resources. Lancester believes that we all can become beneficial stewards of the land, and partners in the ecosystem in which we live, and by harvesting water—and more—we can all begin to transform our households and neighborhoods from being consumers of resources to generators—and even regenerators—of resources.
