2020 independent Press Award Winner--Green Book Category Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond , Volume 2 is a how-to guide enabling you to "plant the rain" by creating water-harvesting "earthworks" or "rain gardens." Earthworks are simple, inexpensive strategies and landforms that passively harvest multiple sources of free on-site water including rainfall, stormwater runoff, air conditioning condensate, and greywater within "living tanks" of soil and vegetation. The plants then pump the water back out in the form of beauty, food, shelter, wildlife habitat, timber and forage, while controlling erosion, reducing down-stream flooding, dropping utility costs, increasing soil fertility, and improving water and air quality. This revised and expanded full-color second edition builds on the information in Volume 1 by showing you how to turn your yard, school, business, park, and neighborhood into lively, regenerative producers of resources. Conditions at home will improve as you simultaneously enrich the ecosystem and inspire the surrounding community. Learn to select, place, size, construct, and plant your chosen earthworks. All is made easier and more effective by the illustrations of natural patterns of water and sediment flow with which you can collaborate or mimic. Detailed step-by-step instructions with over 550 images show you how to do it, and plentiful stories of success motivate you so you will do it!

This book gave me the necessary data for me to design my own Tree Watering System with low volumes of water from a modified 5 gal bucked and siphon hose drip system. You will have to take the info in this book and TEST the size/volume hose and braided Nylon rope diameters to to meet the moisture requirements of your plant. Your test bucket can be set on a bench and the different diameters hose and rope can be watched for the duration of Drips per Minute into a small calibrated measuring device.
