Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Volume 2: Water Harvesting Earthworks by Brad Lancaster.

This book shows you how to select, place, size, construct, and plant your chosen water-harvesting earthworks. It presents detailed how-to information and variations of a diverse array of earthworks, including chapters on mulch, vegetation, and greywater recycling so you can customize the techniques to the unique requirements of your site.

Real life stories and examples permeate the book, including: How curb cuts redirect street runoff to passively irrigate flourishing shade trees planted along the street. How check dams have helped create springs and perennial flows in once-dry creeks. How infiltration basins are creating thriving rain-fed gardens and more!
