Reality-Based Water Harvesting

Looking for a been-there-done-that approach to water harvesting? With inspiring real life examples? I’m looking forward to bringing them to your group!

All of my presentations are illustrated with photos from my coffee table book, City Nature, and my eBook, Water Harvesting 101. Autographed copies of City Nature will also be available for purchase.

Speaking Topics

  1. Water Harvesting 101: An introduction to the three activities of water harvesting: 1) redirecting rainwater away from where it isn’t wanted to where it is; 2) storing rainwater for later use; and 3) recycling “used” water. Also, a detailed explanation of active and passive water harvesting and how they relate to the three activities.
    Duration: 1 hour plus Q&A.
  2. That Time I Flunked Water Harvesting: This one’s all about the mistakes I’ve made, like trying – and failing – to correct a yard flooding problem that threatened my house, nearly killing fruit trees with greywater, and continuing to water landscape plants after they’re dead. But I won’t leave you stuck in Problem City. This one’s all about getting you to Solutionville. Duration: 1 hour plus Q&A.
  3. Water Harvesting on a Budget: Can’t afford to install a cistern? Think that puts you out of the water harvesting game? Well, think again! This presentation is all about low-cost methods that don’t require special equipment and involve simple activities that are already part of your day. Duration: 1 hour plus Q&A.

No Kickback Policy: Any product or service that I recommend is one that I have used myself. If I haven’t used it, I’ve heard good things from people I know and trust. In short, no one is paying me for a recommendation.
