Dear Oasis Design Retailers:
We are excited to announce the publication of our latest ecological
design book, Water Storage: Tanks,
Cisterns, Aquifers and Ponds for Domestic Supply, Fire and Emergency
Use.
Water Storage is a do-it-yourself
guide to designing, building, and maintaining water tanks, cisterns and
ponds, and sustainably managing groundwater storage. It contains
everything you need to know to design and build water storage systems,
including comprehensive instructions for making several styles of
ferrocement water tanks. It appears to be the world's first general yet
detailed book on water storage.

Storage that's low cost, low maintenance,
high reliability, and high quality...the keys are right here. If you run
a water system, for a weekend shack or a whole community, you need
this book!
-Doug Pratt, Real Goods Technical Editor
On the average water system, this book will pay for itself a
hundred times over in errors avoided and maintenance savings. Not another
stuffy engineering manual-a very good book that anyone can read. It is
especially suited for operators of small water systems.
-Zane Satterfield, P.E., National Drinking Water
Clearinghouse
Practical design solutions, comprehensive illustrations, and
plenty of photos-a thorough treatment of a topic that's vital to our
survival.
-Claire Anderson, Home Power Magazine, Mother Earth News
A comprehensive guide to water systems that explores every facet
of designing and using water resources wisely, efficiently, and in
concert with nature. If you need water, you need this book.
-Richard Freudenberger, Executive Editor, Back Home Magazine
