Brad Lancaster’s ideas are practical, radical, and urgently needed. In this episode Brad describes how he began harvesting street runoff at his home  in the Sonoran Desert, where he now harvests 100,000 gallons per year  on just 1/8th of an acre. Brad’s rainwater harvesting methods grew into a citywide  movement toward regenerative hydration practices in his hometown of  Tucson. His easy-to-implement strategies for water resilience are  economical and readily adoptable. With California in hydrological  deficit—and as climate change exacerbates the scarcity wrought by  overallocation—this conversation with Brad contains both essential  inspiration and practical tools you can apply at your home, not only  survive the ongoing drought and reduce your water cost, but to enhance  the quality and abundance of your life.
