Rainwater harvesting basics 1 brad lancasterBrad Stewart Lancaster (born March 15, 1967) is an expert in the field of rainwater harvesting and water management. He is also a permaculture teacher, designer, consultant and co-founder of Desert Harvesters, a non-profit organization. Contents
 Lancaster lives on an eighth of 1 acre (0.40 ha) in downtown Tucson, Arizona, where rainfall is less than 12 inches (300 mm) per annum. In such arid conditions, Brad consistently models that catching over 100,000 US gallons (380,000 l; 83,000 imp gal) of rainwater to feed food-bearing shade trees, abundant gardens, and a thriving landscape is a much more viable option than the municipal system of directing it into storm drains and sewer systems.  A recent project in 2009 involved acting as a representative for the U.S. State Department on an educational tour in the Middle East.
