Essential Rainwater Harvesting: A Guide to Home-Scale System Design (Sustainable Building Essentials Series, 11) Review: It's a tool, and like all tools, the results depend mainly on knowing how to use it. - Full disclosure, I now have two copies, one purchased via desertcart and one as part of the associated 8 week course the Avis's put on based on the book. I'm only halfway through that course as of this writing. This book, is a tool, it's background information and context. If you're just looking for how to connect a pipe to a gutter and divert it over to a scavenged ibc or plastic drum to spray some water on a plant, this is not the right book. Perhaps try Pinterest. If you want to get into the systems analysis, design, biological reasons why it's not about the tank, or the valve but the entire - system -, and you don't mind taking 2-3 days to recreate the incredible spreadsheet tool given in the book and learn how to use it, then it is the book. It's not a step by step, grab stuff from the tip or reclaim store book. It's written by two engineers, but in language readable by non-engineers willing to put in some time, effort and thinking. Review: Practical, detailed, comprehensible guide - 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? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #100,511 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Water Quality & Treatment #11 in Plumbing & Home Automation Remodeling #14 in Water Supply & Land Use (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (140) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.43 x 10.98 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0865718741 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0865718746 | | Item Weight | 1.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Sustainable Building Essentials | | Print length | 172 pages | | Publication date | December 11, 2018 | | Publisher | New Society Publishers | ## Images ![Essential Rainwater Harvesting: A Guide to Home-Scale System Design (Sustainable Building Essentials Series, 11) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VGsV4AIBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a tool, and like all tools, the results depend mainly on knowing how to use it. *by F***M on February 11, 2022* Full disclosure, I now have two copies, one purchased via Amazon and one as part of the associated 8 week course the Avis's put on based on the book.
