Natural Water Economy

Redesigning Our Landscapes to Store and Purify Water

By Lawrence Gamble

Reprinted with permission from The Iowa Source, Fairfield IA

Savvy Veg Comment: This is the long version of Lonnie Gamble's article on water collection, storage and purification, which appeared in the April 2006 print edition of The Iowa Source. The Source has a shorter online article specifically about collecting and using rainwater. I went with this longer water article because it's more informative about environmental, permaculture landscape, the natural water economy, and the long historic view of water.

After a poetic introduction, Lonnie contrasts nature's successful water economy with the mainly disastrous man made efforts at controlling this most fundamental and endangered of all natural resources.
