This sounds like the fruit of Brad Lancaster spreading!!! Continue doing Nature's work Brad. You are slowing, sinking and spreading rainwater harvesting throughout the states!

Think they want a specific narrative and it cuts out those who are are trying to make it cost accessible. This is about profit for some...

Additionally they left out how to harvest water in much bigger ways, such as swales, check dams, bunds, gully repair, etc, which Brad teaches all. Still another point they left out is how soil salts are flushed out of the soil by rainwater in a way that other water sources instead contribute to. Salty soils further dessicate plants and humus and this dries out the landscape further...

@@b_uppy Yes, exactly. Looking at all the yellow water flooding down that river is a chilling reminder of how much soil is washed away and how much more water could be saturated into the ground..

You need to check out Brad Lancaster. He does some serious rainwater harvesting at lower costs. He's done a video on how to do it in urban landscapes. His longer videos are especially infornative. He has written two books too. Check out the latest additions for the most info!

Check out Brad Lancaster. His methods are less expensive and about helping people, rather than tapping into deep pockets as this video subtly suggests

Rounding down 66,827 litres. Just for drinking water purposes a person should drink at least 2 litres of water a day. So even if you said a family of 4 with 3 litres a day each for drinking that is 4,380 litres a year. How much they using to shower, cook, clean and water plants?

I live in a medium size town in Australia & a mate & his family live on a small farm with only rain water. His eldest son & his wife (lived in the city their entire life) came to visit just after heavy rains. The tanks were overflowing & with in a week they had no water. My mate & his wife couldn’t figure it out as all tanks had been overflowing only weeks before. Turned out City people couldn’t comprehend that taking half hour long showers twice a day was somehow wasteful. They refused to pay for the water my mate & his wife than had to purchase & needless to say I don’t think they will NEVER be welcome to come back! How stupid & or entitled can you be!!!

The first time I ever saw this rain harvesting was when I visited a friend in Kingaroy and was fascinated by it. Granted this was almost 20 years ago.

How about Arizona, the American Southwest & this country stopped importing so many people, legal & illegal immigrants both. That would solve a whole lot of issues including water.

True. Many of these people are coming from areas with a lot more water and creating water problems here...
