Rainwater Harvesting and Natural Air Conditioning

Brad Lancaster is a permaculture and regenerative-design consultant and educator. His specialty is sustainable landscapes. 

We chat with Brad about using the landscape to harvest rainwater. And about using the landscape as a living air conditioner. 

Brad also talks about a very inspiring project that he helped spearhead, a community food forest.

We talk about: 

  • Using permaculture principles in landscaping

  • How to harvest rainwater in the landscape

  • The connection between landscapes and cooling

  • Using the soil and "speed bumps" in the landscape to make it a living sponge

  • Selecting plants to suit the landscape

  • The Dunbar Springs Urban Food Forest

Brad is the author of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond.
