摘要

Volume 1 of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond teaches readers how to conceptualize, design, and implement sustainable water-harvesting systems for home, landscape, and community. The lessons in this book cover assessment of onsite resources, provide strategies to maximize resource potential, and outline principles to create an integrated, multifunctional, water-harvesting plan specific to a site and project objectives. This revised and expanded second edition increases potential for onsite harvests with more integrated tools and strategies for solar design, a primer on water/energy/ carbon connections, descriptions of water/erosion flow patterns and their water-harvesting response, and updated how-to illustrations.
