Get out your shovels and dance in the rain! That is what Brad Lancaster’s second volume in his trilogy on Rainwater Harvesting will make you want to do.
Join Brad Lancaster for a talk and book signing, as he shares his experiences traveling the world learning about harvesting rainwater—with simple landforms and earthworks—in places like India, Peru, Mexico, Africa and the United States, where impoverished landscapes are turned into oases of life.
Harvesting rainwater was once a worldwide technology, but was replaced by pipes, canals, and sprinklers—inefficient and wasteful strategies that are running dry. In his newly published book Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond:Vol 2, Water-Harvesting Earthworks, Brad Lancaster shares techniques for designing landscapes that passively harvest water using brilliant, low-tech, regenerative systems to hydrate the land and maximize the benefit that water brings to plants, animals and people.
Water has been identified as a global crisis in the making. Southern California has one of the most piped landscapes ever designed, relying on water from far away that may not be available in the future. Brad’s book encourages individuals and government agencies to redesign landscapes to live sustainably in their watersheds. Earthworks, using
shovels to large earth moving equipment, can be the foundation strategy for sustainable landscapes.
Brad Lancaster is a permaculture teacher, designer, consultant and co-founder of Desert Harvesters (DesertHarvesters.org). Brad has taught programs for the ECOSA Institute, Columbia University, University of Arizona, Prescott College, Audubon Expeditions, and many others. He has helped design integrated water harvesting and permaculture systems for homeowners and gardeners, including the Tucson Audubon Simpson Farm restoration site, the Milagro and Stone Curves co-housing projects.

Park(ing) Day 2008
2008-09-19
September 19, 2008
An international day of innovation when artists, activists, environmentalists, and other citizens in cities across the world take over a parking space(s) for one day and turn it into a public park.
This is a great way to show how we could begin to depave our overpaved watersheds by replacing pavement with water-infiltrating, flood-controlling, summer temperature-cooling, water and air-filtering, wildlife-enhancing, food-producing, fun, greenspace.

Applying the Principles of
Water Harvesting
Using Rainwater, Greywater & A/C Condensate
In the Landscape
September 15 & 16, 2009
Albuquerque, New Mexico
THIS TSA WORKSHOP IS DESIGNED FOR:
? Anyone from an organization who would like to learn how to capture and utilize rainwater, greywater & air conditioning condensate for multi-use landscaping
• The following organization can benefit from this training: Federal, State, & Local Governments, Housing Agencies, Schools, Casinos, Parks Departments, National Park Service, Federal Government Agencies and Private Businesses
The availability of water in most communities is limited, and what is available can be expensive. Many communities are plagued with some type of drought situation to the point where they must limit the use of water for irrigation, washing vehicles, and other elective water uses. The irony is that the precious commodity of rainwater is routinely wasted in most communities, including the ones that have limited water use. Local communities need to turn water scarcity into water abundance, which can be easily accomplished by implementing the core principles that are covered in this training session. Using rainwater to supplement water usage saves money, while helping the environment, which is a Win-Win end result for everyone. In addition, water-harvesting strategies double as flood control strategies reducing flood threats and erosion in wet seasons
The major goal for this workshop is to have the participants embrace and implement in their communities and housing developments the principles of water harvesting learned in this workshop. Participants will learn the process of harvesting rainwater and how to actually implement it on their properties. Actual case studies will be presented, which will be supplemented with “hands-on” activities that will allow workshop participants to gain a thorough understanding of the process of water harvesting and how to make it happen in their communities.
During this interactive workshop, an extensive display of photos and videos that show actual water harvesting applications will be shown for workshop participants to evaluate, critique, and discuss with the workshop leader.
All workshop participants will receive a copy of the workshop leader’s important and timely book, “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands & Beyond: Volume 1 (Guiding Principles to Welcome Rain into your Life & Landscape),” which will be used as a workbook during the workshop. Volume 1 is the core of a 3-volume guide about how to conceptualize, design, and implement sustainable water harvesting systems for homes, landscapes, and communities. TSA certificates will be presented to everyone who attends this training.
A G E N D A
Both Days, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm
MAJOR TOPICS THAT WILL BE COVERED DURING THE WORKSHOP:
1. Introduction to rainwater harvesting – why you should do it
2. The eight principles of successful water harvesting
3. Integrating energy & water conservation strategies – do more with less
4. Examples of successful rainwater harvesting applications
5. Understanding the three golden elevations of water harvesting topography
6. Use of different elevation tools for site work
7. Taking advantage of passive solar principles in conjunction with rainwater
harvesting to reduce utility bills
8. Creating appropriate native plant pallets
9. Creating a living air conditioner for your property
10. Advice for purchasing the best and most practical products for water harvesting
11. Creating an on-site water budget for a property
12. Getting water harvesting grants & tax credits
13. Calculating a payback period related to your investment
14. Basic principles of greywater harvesting & sizing of household systems
15. Case studies for participants to apply the knowledge they just gained
16. Hands-on site assessment – Bring your site plans to discover what potentials you have
17. Field trip on the property to assess rainwater harvesting potentials
18. Round table discussions regarding how harvesting rain water can work in your area
WORKSHOP LEADER: This TSA workshop will be presented by Brad Lancaster, who has taught, designed, and consulted on the sustainable design systems of permaculture and integrated rainwater systems since 1993. He lives on a thriving 1/8-acre urban permaculture site that he created in downtown Tucson, Arizona. Brad is at one with the earth and his environment. He actually lives what he writes about and teaches every day. Brad’s down-to-earth teaching approach, blended with the individual attention he gives to every workshop participant makes learning the processes of harvesting rainwater interesting, exciting, and fun. Brad’s web site is www.HarvestingRainwater.com.

Get out your shovels and dance in the rain!
That is what Brad Lancaster’s 2nd volume in his trilogy on Rainwater
Harvesting will make you want to do!
Rainwater Harvesting Earthworks are one of the easiest, least expensive, and
most effective ways of passively harvesting and conserving multiple sources
of water in the soil. Building on the information presented in Volume 1,
Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Vol 2, shows you how to
select, place, size, construct, and plant your chosen water-harvesting
earthworks. It presents detailed how-to information and variations of a
diverse array of earthworks, including chapters on mulch, vegetation, and
greywater recycling so you can customize the techniques to the unique
requirements of your site. Returns come in the form of beauty, food,
shelter, wildlife habitat, and passive heating and cooling strategies, while
controlling erosion, increasing soil fertility, reducing downstream
flooding, and improving water and air quality.
Brad Lancaster has been active teaching, designing, and consulting on the
sustainable design system of Permaculture & integrated rainwater harvesting
systems since 1993. He lives what he teaches on a thriving, award-winning
eighth of an acre urban Permaculture site he created in Tucson, Arizona.
Suggested donation of $5 to $10 to support Brad’s great work! No one turned
away for lack of funds!

Brad’s book encourages individuals and government agencies to redesign landscapes to live sustainably in their watersheds. Earthworks, using
shovels to large earth moving equipment, can be the foundation strategy for sustainable landscapes.

Get out your shovels and dance in the rain! That is what Brad Lancaster’s second volume in his trilogy on Rainwater Harvesting will make you want to do.
Join Brad Lancaster for a talk and book signing, as he shares his experiences traveling the world learning about harvesting rainwater—with simple landforms and earthworks—in places like India, Peru, Mexico, Africa and the United States, where impoverished landscapes are turned into oases of life.
Harvesting rainwater was once a worldwide technology, but was replaced by pipes, canals, and sprinklers—inefficient and wasteful strategies that are running dry. In his newly published book Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond:Vol 2, Water-Harvesting Earthworks, Brad Lancaster shares techniques for designing landscapes that passively harvest water using brilliant, low-tech, regenerative systems to hydrate the land and maximize the benefit that water brings to plants, animals and people.
