Love the spreadsheets and templates, in metric and in U.S. Customary Units This is the most helpful, understandable, practical guide to setting up rainwater harvesting systems I have seen. I am going to be using it to build systems and to train others. How about a Spanish version?

Just got this book. There are no companies in my part of Texas (SE) that offer complete rain harvesting guidance for homeowners. Central Texas, yes, but not my area. So I have to design my whole system. That bit is where this book excels. Not just bits and pieces, but helping novice make a well-designed system. Right blend of guidance and pragmatic detail There’s a lot of details, and I am comfortable that all bases are now covered. Especially collection, usage, storage tanks, gutters and lots more. There’s also some important calculations to be done, so authors offer a downloadable spreadsheet to make sure formulas are correct. Rob also has a LinkedIn presence with cell phone and email contacts. One text message alone saved me hours. I will be ordering equipment soon. Will update review after installation.

I wish this book and the others in The Sustainable Building Essentials Series had been available when we built our home years ago.Michelle and Rob do a great job presenting not only rainwater harvesting, but how it fits into a whole systems approach for increased resiliency. They back up their recommendations with the latest research on safe rainwater utilization.I received a copy of this book for review.

The writing is crisp and detailed, and the book is packed with information you need to know if you want to design and build a rainwater harvesting system that works. Used together with their design spreadsheet, you can’t go wrong.
