Harvest the Rain by Nate Downey

PermaDesign -- Harvest the Rain by Nate Downey


Our planet's water shortage is a reality for one in five people worldwide, but enough precipitation falls annually to provide ample water for everybody. We simply have to collect, store, distribute, and reuse 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 for conversation just outside the kitchen door. Harvest the Rain presents a wealth of opportunities for enriching your life. Now that you've found this book, you can reap the benefits and ensure that future generations inherit a better world.


Reviews

Harvest the Rain is the book I have been waiting for: a detailed 'how to' for people and communities wanting to take a major step in saving the world's water written by a passionate water conservation advocate. Let this practical, entertaining and challenging book be your guide to your own--and the world's water secure future. -- Maude Barlow, author of Blue Covenant and Senior Advisor on Water to the President of the United Nations General Assembly

This book will not only make you a true believer in the regenerative power of harvesting rain--it will show you how. Harvest the Rain is full of practical solutions to our water shortages and points the way to a climate-resilient future. If we want thriving landscapes, abundant food, strong communities, and sustainable economies, we can start by treasuring rain. -- Andy Lipkis, Founder and President of TreePeople

Harvest the Rain is not just another true horror story about impending environmental apocalypse. Nor is it a dry how-to book about water use. Downey makes us feel the reverence that cultures throughout human history have felt for water falling from the sky. -- Times Higher Education
