They empower you to create integrated water-sustainable landscape plans at home and throughout your community. Rainwater harvesting is the process of capturing rain and making the most of it as close as possible to where it falls. Greywater harvesting is the process of directing water from household sink\, bathtub\, shower\, and washing machine drains into the soils of the landscape where the water is naturally filtered and reused to generate more on-site resources. The two work hand in hand\, and can reduce our water consumption by 30 to 50%! You’ll see examples enhancing local food security\, passively cooling cities in summer\, reducing costs of living and energy consumption\, controlling erosion\, averting flooding\, reviving dead waterways\, minimizing water pollution\, building community\, creating celebration\, and more.\nBrad Lancaster is the author of the award-winning “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands\, Volume 1: Guiding Principles to Welcome Rain Into Your Life and Landscape” and “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond\, Volume 2: Water-Harvesting Earthworks” (www.HarvestingRainwater.com). Living on an eighth of an acre in downtown Tucson\, Arizona\, where rainfall is less than 12 inches annually\, Brad practices what he preaches by harvesting over 100\,000 gallons of rainwater a year.\nBrad and his brother Rodd have created an oasis in the desert by directing this harvested rainwater not off their property and into storm drains\, but instead incorporating it into living air conditioners of food-bearing shade trees\, abundant gardens\, and a thriving landscape that includes habitat for wildlife.\nBrad 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\, City of Asheville\, North Carolina 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.\nThis event is sponsored primarily by One Community Sustainable Living Lecture Series and co-sponsored by the City of Flagstaff\, The Coconino Sustainable Building Program\, Willow Bend Environmental Education Center and Eden on Earth.\nFor more information contact:\nAmanda Acheson\naacheson@coconino.az.gov URL:https://www.harvestingrainwater.com/event/rainwater-and-greywater-harvesting-presentation-by-brad-lancaster-in-flagstaff-arizona/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20080517T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20080517T180000 DTSTAMP:20080512T162433Z CREATED:20080512T162433Z LAST-MODIFIED:20080512T162433Z UID:312-1211047200-1211047200@www.harvestingrainwater.com SUMMARY:Book Signing and Water Harvesting Talk with Brad Lancaster in Edgewood\, New Mexico DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 17\, 2008\n6pm\nEdgewood\, NM\nPot luck dinner\, book signing\, and new talk with Brad Lancaster to celebrate the release of his new book “Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond\, Volume 2: Water-Harvesting Earthworks”.

This can greatly lower water consumption and water bills\, while enhancing and beautifying your yard. We will discuss how to create greywater systems\, greywater-harvesting guidelines\, materials and suppliers\, greywater-appropriate soaps and detergents\, marrying greywater and rainwater-harvesting earthworks\, and how to maximize your greywater-irrigated landscape’s potential with passive solar design\, food production\, and oasis design.

They empower you to create integrated water-sustainable landscape plans at home and throughout your community. Rainwater harvesting is the process of capturing rain and making the most of it as close as possible to where it falls. Greywater harvesting is the process of directing water from household sink\, bathtub\, shower\, and washing machine drains into the soils of the landscape where the water is naturally filtered and reused to generate more on-site resources. The two work hand in hand\, and can reduce our water consumption by 30 to 50%! You’ll see examples enhancing local food security\, passively cooling cities in summer\, reducing costs of living and energy consumption\, controlling erosion\, averting flooding\, reviving dead waterways\, minimizing water pollution\, building community\, creating celebration\, and more.\nco-sponsored by the Sierra Club URL:https://www.harvestingrainwater.com/event/water-harvesting-presentation-by-brad-lancaster-in-truth-or-consequences-nm/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20080229T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20080301T170000 DTSTAMP:20080128T203139Z CREATED:20080128T203139Z LAST-MODIFIED:20080128T203139Z UID:226-1204270200-1204390800@www.harvestingrainwater.com SUMMARY:New Mexico Organic Farming Conference DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 29\, 2008 and Saturday\, March 1\, 2008\n7:30am to 5:00pm\nAlbuquerque\, New Mexico\nMarriott Albuquerque Pyramid North\n5151 San Francisco Road\n505-473-1004 (Santa Fe)\n505-841-9067 (Albuquerque)\nLots of great info at this conference.
