Create an Oasis with Greywater: Choosing, Building,… door Art Ludwig

As is obvious from the title, this is a somewhat technical book that is of interest mainly to people who are want to set up residential greywater systems. I have a short series on my house blog about residential greywater (http://setsuzokuya.blogspot.com/search/label/greywater), so here I'll just say that this book is full of solid information. A must read for anyone who wants to take advantage of the large amount of fairly easy to process greywater produced in their home.

Water Storage: Tanks, Cisterns, Aquifers, and Ponds… door Art Ludwig

Written by an author with a degree in ecological systems design, this book shows a clear love of the subject matter. This book covers every conceivable application for water use and delivery systems with an eye to how to use/make these systems with the least impact on the ecosystem.

Timely and timeless, this will be the book to turn to as water issues increase in the future. Recommended for anyone who wants and needs to understand water and water systems and water storage.… (meer)
