On Wednesday, March 29th, 2:00 PM at Winter Sun Trading Company (107 N. San Francisco) in Flagstaff, and 7 PM at the NAU Forest Science Complex (110 E. Pine Knoll Dr.) sustainable living expert Brad Lancaster of Tucson will give a free talk and presentation on his recently published book "Rainwater Harvesting For Drylands Vol I; Guiding Principles To Welcome Rain Into Your Life and Landscape" (Rainsource Press, 2006.) The presentation will center
around the dramatic potential for changing water scarcity to water abundance in the Southwest through the implementation of rainwater harvesting techniques.
Those familiar with the subject will find a wealth of knowledge and resources within the pages of Lancaster's book; those new to it will be inspired. Rainwater harvesting represents a powerful solution to drought, over-consumption and unsustainable water legislation on both the state and municipal level.
