                        _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.
