Images of Contemporary Water-Harvesting Art

by Brad Lancaster © 2011

Show the flow. Cycle it. Celebrate it. Know it. And as you do, show others the way.

The following three images are installations that I feel show and celebrate the flow. Their beauty lures me in, and invites me to look deeper. See more images in the Contemporary Water-Harvesting Art gallery, part of my website’s larger Water-Harvesting Image Gallery.

And for more how-to information see Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Volume 1 and Volume 2.
