Rainwater Harvesting - The Collection and Runoff In Rural Ar,
By Britt Medford (Austin, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rainwater Harvesting: The Collection of Rainfall and Runoff in Rural Areas (Paperback)
Probably a good book for Peace Corps types. Not what I expected from the description when I purchaed the book. It is geared towards rural areas (read: Third World Countries). Not for those of us wanting to build a sustainable house and collect rain water for personal and potable uses on a large scale.

Rainwater Harvesting,
By David Bainbridge (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rainwater Harvesting: The Collection of Rainfall and Runoff in Rural Areas (Paperback)
This is an excellent review of the challenges of rainwater harvesting in the rest of the world. It is not well suited for those interested in creating a water harvesting system in Texas( where it is encouraged) or California (where it is practically against the law in most cities). But for those involved in Peace Corps, development assistance or simply living in difficult conditions with limited water this book is great. Many good websites also available today.

Book is excellent for intended purpose!,
This review is from: Rainwater Harvesting: The Collection of Rainfall and Runoff in Rural Areas (Paperback)
This book meets its purpose masterfully! It is an excellent review of ways to collect rainwater in low income, rural areas. Africa is starving because of the increasing size of the desert. This book is an excellent remedy!
