The summer drought of 2018 showed many people that even in Ireland rain water harvesting is a good idea. Once again we can turn to the Deep Green Permaculture website for great instructions – thank you Angelo!

Longer article of stream water abstraction using these techniques at the Ansa Permaculture Design test site coming later on.
