#waterharvesting — Public Fediverse posts

Yay! Cool before, during and after video of a project where they reversed erosion in a storm drain area and made it a beautiful park with trees and seating. What I really love here is how people going into and interacting with it is wanted and encouraged!

(Though personally I'd also encourage graffiti, oh well)

🌱💧🌵 Water Harvester: An Invitation to Abundance (27 min, 2022)

Tucson resident Brad Lancaster believes that cities around the world can live off rainwater. This is the story of how he transformed his neighborhood by experimenting with water harvesting, worked with the city to legalize those methods, and empowered others by proving that abundance rooted in sustainability is possible.

Watching all these youtube videos on water harvesting and creek restoration etc, I really wish people would emphasise more how every SINGLE time the problem was very directly caused by colonialism and the answers were already there in the cultural practices of the indigenous peoples and are recovered by remembering and reviving those.

They mention it at times and it is fascinating.

Wagon ruts cut open landscapes and caused creeks to erode and watertables to drop, landscapes to dry out. Badly built (aka standard) roads still do the same. Obviously overgrazing and clearcutting, common colonial practices, cause immense damage both to vegetation and to water flow and groundwater levels.

But it is nausea-inducing how many times colonial overlords literally mandated locals to abandon or counteract their water-harvesting, water-protecting and groundwater-raising practices. Mandated them to dig drainage ditches that would get rid of all the water instead of capturing and using it. Literally doing and forcing everyone to do the opposite (dig ditches straight down the slope) of what's helpful (ditches or berms on contour/at right angles to the water flow).

🌧️🌱 Zephaniah Phiri Maseko - The Rainwater Harvester 🌱🌧️

He resisted the colonial regime in Zimbabwe in the 1950s and got confined to house arrest on a small plot of very eroded land. The erosion and degradation had been caused by coloniser-mandated mismanagment. So he observed and learned from the rain, the land, and the water in order to repair the damage so that he could feed his family.

Now people around the world learn from him and his water harvesting methods because they transform arid, degraded landscapes into green, lush oases.

This is my current rabbit hole 🤩

People using simple methods to harvest storm water, heal landscapes, prevent erosion and floods, capture water for ecosystems and neighbourhoods alike...

It's a humble mindset that invites awe and wonder while being light-hearted and rollling up their sleeves like "ok let's DO THIS!" and not letting the coloniser/capitalist mindset get in the way. Seeing things get better than seemed possible before. But it is happening.

Best Stands for #RainBarrels to Maximize #WaterHarvesting

Post published:February 13, 2026

"Raising a rain barrel off the ground improves access to the spigot, enhances drainage, and protects the barrel from damp ground. This guide highlights reliable stands designed for 45, 50, and 55-gallon barrels, focusing on durability, load capacity, and weather resistance. The selections below draw from top-rated options that balance robustness with practical design, helping you choose a stand that fits your weather, terrain, and watering needs."

I love watching videos from Brad Lancaster about Rainwater harvesting. They are always so positive, and practical. Makes me want to live somewhere dry, just so I can implement these ideas.

Scientists stumble upon mind-blowing material that can produce water from thin air: 'Never been seen before' Almost half of the world's population could be living in areas of high water stress by 2030, and water scarcity could lead to over 700 million people being displaced from arid or semiarid regions in the same timeframe. #ScienceMastodon #WaterHarvesting

Fascinating stuff, "Our water harvesting solutions efficiently capture and generate pure water out of the atmosphere, even under dry conditions with relative humidity below 20%. Our technology can operate in passive mode without the use of electricity, thereby enabling off-grid operations with zero carbon footprint."
