About this audiobook

In a world where clean water is a luxury, how can you protect your family from the prohibitive cost of a well and ensure safe, unchlorinated water without compromising your budget?

Harvesting rainwater for your homestead is the answer for those looking for an economical and sustainable alternative to expensive well systems and wanting to eliminate the risk of contamination.

 

Here's more of what you’ll learn inside:

•                  What is rainwater harvesting and how it works

•                  The different uses for rainwater

•                  Which water collection systems are best for your home

•                  Step-by-step setup, maintenance, and water treatment instruction

•                  How to calculate water collection based on local climate and roof size

•                  Small home improvements and sustainable living solutions that will lower monthly bills

•                  Professional vs diy installation

Take the shivali village in india as an example, where children had to bring water with them to school. But now that they have begun harvesting rainwater in their schools, kids are able to stop worrying about having access to water and focus on what really matters: learning and socializing.

If these villages can utilize rainwater harvesting to sustain them, you can surely implement a smaller-scale system for your home following the steps outlined in this guide.

My husband is an urban farmer and the whole idea of rainwater harvesting has been banted around our house for a long time. This is the book that my husband needs in order to create a self sufficient backyard rainwater system.

Rainwater Harvesting Made Easy does exactly what the title says. If you are looking to prepare for a grid down situation, or just prefer to live independently, then this book is a good place to start. Water is the most important thing to human beings.
