Rainwater Harvesting Basics

When the governor of California, Jerry Brown declared that the state was facing a drought situation, he voiced what many Californians were already feeling and noticing. 2013 was the driest year on record and so far, 2014 has been a dry year.

In this 3 part YouTube video series, Brad Lancaster author of Rainwater Harvesting For Drylands, talks about water, water conservation, building resiliency in the system and how to slow, spread and sink the water that (hopefully!) falls on your land.

As Brad Lancaster says in this video, “We need to strive to do things in such a way that the natural resource base is at worst, maintained but at best, steadily enhanced.”
