4.0 out of 5 stars
non-western water supply, December 13, 2004
This review is from: Rainwater Catchment Systems for Domestic Supply: Design, Construction and Implementation (Paperback)
This book reviews the art of roof and ground catchment systems for rainwater. The water collected can be used for household or other purposes. The designs are aimed for individuals with limited access to electricity and/or civic water utilities. The text includes drawings, photographs and step-by-step instructions.
One might say the book is really written for the 'aid worker' since it also considers ethnic and gender issues that would be 'obvious' to the future owners of the the systems.
If you want to build something for yourself, you might be interested in reading "Rainwater Collection for the Mechanically Challenged", by Richard Heinichen and Suzy Banks. Another book is "Gardening Without Water: Creating Beautiful Gardens Using Only Rainwater" by Charlotte Green. The first is really for the mechanically inclined.
