Design for Water:
Rainwater Harvesting, Stormwater Catchment, and Alternate Water Reuse

by Heather Kinkade-Levario

Mark Twain said everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it. Well Kinkade-Levario has thought a lot about what to do about rain. She explains systems for rainwater catchment and stormwater management, with illustrations and descriptions of a variety of approaches to each. Case studies of rain-harvesting systems in residential, institutional and industrial settings further explicate the possibilities. While directing and storing rain isn't extremely complex, there is more to it than putting a barrel under a downspout, and this book lays it out. She even briefly addresses capturing air-conditioning condensate and fog.
