Permabyte: PDC - Water

And we return to the PDC material with Water, including how to harvest, store, treat, use, and conserve it.  As this is a topic includes numerous techniques, to help round that out are links to many of the points covered in the show for additional reading and follow up. Early on, I mentioned some percentages that add up to more than 100%.  I blame that fully on my brain and a rounding error when putting the show together. Also, the word research comes up again and again and again in this episode.  Given the breadth of Permaculture, the bioregions we work in, and the variety of techniques we can use, the amount of information is encyclopedic.  Use the information contained within as a place to jump off from to find ideas that go with your observations and are applicable to that situation.
