"This
project showcased a hand-on approach from a variety of practitioners to
stimulate creative thinking on ways to harvest and enhance the
effectiveness of naturally occurring precipitation. The primary area is
Pecos County's range lands and idle/fallow land which tends to crust and
shed natural precipitation. The project will provide a means for both
grassroots individuals and governmental land stewards to understand and
implement real-life, economically attainable water harvesting practices
or techniques in an arid lands environment."
