Learn how to effectively harvest the desert's most precious commodity - rainwater. Harvesting water can keep moisture in the soil for up to two months! In return, that moisture produces lush bird and lizard habitat, and keeps your home cooler, reducing utility bills. On this 1-mile tour you will learn how to redirect rainwater from problem areas and many other strategies that can be applied to your own home and neighborhood.
