                    _If we want thriving landscapes, abundant food,
                    strong communities, and sustainable economies, we
                    can start by treasuring the rain.

                    Join Nate Downey, author of the newly published book
                    */Harvest the Rain/ *for a talk and book-signing
                    event, as he shares thoughts and strategies for
                    taking advantage of rain, a precious resource that
                    falls free from the sky.

                    For millennia, people relied on rainwater harvesting
                    to supply water for households, landscape,
                    livestock, and agricultural uses. Today, our
                    planet's water shortage is a reality for people
                    worldwide, but actually enough precipitation falls
                    annually to provide ample water for everybody.  We
                    simply have to collect, store, distribute, and reuse
                    just a small percentage of that which falls from the
                    sky.

                    Fortunately this way of saving the world comes with
                    perks such as increasing your property's value,
                    lowering your utility bills, or simply creating a
                    comfortable oasis outside your door.

                    Nate Downey shows you the way with his practical
                    book that anyone can use to begin implementing
                    rainwater harvesting designs today.
                    /Harvest the Rain/ is low tech, designed for
                    everyone, everywhere, even for those with limited
                    time and money.  In addition to cisterns, gray
                    water, and earthworks, the book shares important
                    ways to help protect your local watershed.

                    Nate Downey has been a successful permaculture
                    landscape designer and installer for eighteen years
                    with his company Santa Fe Permaculture; a columnist
                    for the last twelve years for the Santa Fe New
                    Mexican Real Estate Guide, and a past President of
                    the Permaculture Credit Union.  He published/ Roof
