To Catch the Rain is a book of inspiring stories of communities coming together to catch their own rain, with the nitty-gritty details so you can do it as well. 

It is a book for people looking to build a better future together.  
* Inspiring stories: Real life accounts of catching rain in communities. 
* Technical details: Straightforward descriptions of rainwater system parts, replete with examples from existing systems (many from the systems described in the stories).
* Math and science: Easy-to-follow math that allows readers to simply size rainwater systems, including completed examples.

This book is for everyone, and is especially written for:
* Community members: Get inspired and take action. Learn from others building their own systems around the world. We have already received requests and sent pre-releases to Kenya, Tanzania, India, Mexico, Nepal, Dominican Republic, and the US.
* Makers: Find the DIY details ready to be adapted to your local and global projects. See how other makers solved their problems.
* Teachers: Use this in your Middle School, High School, and University courses. Provides context for education and practical experience to back up math, science, and social curriculum. Includes problem-sets to reinforce the knowledge in the book.
* Students: Rejoice in strong practical reasons to be learning. The real stories bring the math and technical details to life. The custom diagrams and pictures deepen the learning.
* Practivistas: Expand the resilience and impact of the idea that, instead of telling people what not to do, we can build better systems that people want to do.
* ...and really anyone looking for inspiration and follow-through!
