Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond by Brad Lancaster

Hey Harvesters,

Welcome to my new blog, “Drops in a Bucket.”

I call it “Drops in a Bucket” because it represents a celebration of those wonderful little efforts that lead to great things. But in their beginnings those small efforts often seem little more than a drop in a bucket. Which is great if they’re a drop in the bucket of abundance. With enough drops we’ll fill the bucket! A drop in a bucket is only a problem if it’s a drop in the wrong bucket - the bucket of scarcity.

This blog will generally focus on the harvests of water, sun, soil, community, and food that help regeneratively fill that bucket of abundance. Good food is key to bringing good people together. And to grow that food we need water, sun, soil, and those wonderful people. My intent is to create a party of ideas and examples to inspire and challenge. My hope is that it will help plant many seeds to enhance good efforts already begun and to influence positive change on the local level, simultaneously affecting the global.

I plan to update this blog at least once a month, but depending on the harvest, it may happen more often. I hope you like it.

- Brad
