The practice of collecting water in the mountains, delivering it to cities and farms in the valley bottom, and then emptying recycled water into the lakes is placing us at climate risk, […]
Rocks aren’t all born alike. Here’s one from an old glacial river running along the ice that once filled this valley. Note what a light snowfall has done here. The stone has […]
To catch the rain, you don’t need a bucket, a plate, a cup, or any other receptacle at all. As Horsetail teaches, spikes will do, rough spikes that provide enough surface that […]
Imagine, catching the rain. I’ve spent a year getting ready to do just that. Over the last month, my system of downpipes, pipes, siphons (to go uphill, yay, very important) and barrels […]
Tile roofs for the wealthy? Yeah, it’s a thing. Still, they freeze up good in the winter snow. Look at all the little icicles! Also, look at all the gravitational energy going […]
Currently water is collected in the Okanagan by three methods. The first is to turn high country lakes and streams into reservoirs, which are then piped down into the valleys, to provide […]
Cheatgrass shows us the way to the future: harvest snow. Cheatgrass at the Edge of Winter There is no need to wait for the rains or to finance high pressure water systems […]
Last night it snowed. This morning it melted and all that water went away. Well, not entirely. Mullein, 1 pm Last night’s snow has turned to sleet, caught by the hairs on […]
This is how you comb water out of cloud and mist and drizzle (and let your cattle out of a burn zone for a night on the town at the same time). […]
