- Brad Lancaster leads us on a tour of the Milagro Cohousing Community, completed in 2004. Milagro is located in Tucson, Arizona, and the design is centered around harvesting and reusing onsite waters. Brad was part of the original design team for this project, which is thriving today, 15 years after its installation, as you can see in this video.
This video is part of the Rainwater Harvesting Online Course produced by Oregon State University:

So many of us would love to live in such a thoughtful place.
Amazing. As Portugal is sliding more and more from Atlantic into Mediterranean climate, and drought is becoming the norm, I hope we can implement these water harvesting systems ASAP.
I bought both volumes 1 and 2 of "Harvesting rainwater for drylands and beyond" They are amazing books and I highly recommend them.
I have the utmost respect for Brad Lancaster he is truly a hero for humanity! Thank you Andrew for you equally amazing and inspiring videos
Yes, Brad is a real hero and I respect him more the more time I spend with him.
Do volume 1 and 2 cover different things?
What a wonderful project!
Kudos to the designers and architects and builders.
Well done people,
Well done 👍👍👍
More developments need to be like this.
pal, at 5:03, in our culture we LITERALLY shit in our purified drinking water.
Looking forward to a future where this is the norm 💜
I visited Milagro Cohousing back around 2014 and at the time they had the problem that they didn't make enough wastewater to treat in their wetlands because they had installed low-flow & water saving plumbing fixtures. So sounds like they've restored that system some how (was curious how though!), the foliage there is so much bigger and lush than I was there, beautiful to see!!
I work for Southwest Gas, and had to come out to this place for a bluestake ticket this morning. I grew up right around here and never knew that this place existed. I immediately started researching it. Thanks for making this video! What a neat place.
these videos are among the most relevant and interesting things on YT - thank you all for a) making me hopeful that people can really take good care of their environment and b) teach me important strategies.
Loving this, build a house in a desert, create a Wadi for rainwater and in a few year you live in a tropical forest 👍🏼
Beautiful.
Alternatives such as sink holes to catch rainwater, planting trees to preserve the moisure, and designing the land to best guide the water where it is needed most could turn desert everywhere into fertile growing lands for food and wildlife. This has been done with mostly grants, but the money keeps running out once the projects are finished. I wish some of our smaller farms and housing projects could work with nature like this. Many housing projects just sit out in the hot sun with few trees, dusty roads and little wildlife.
Please bring this to New Mexico!
Can't wait to see what you guys do with the surrounding area
Thank you! What a wonderful housing development!
Lots of respect for these guys!! Kudos!
Great work
amazing
I have been to the Old Pueblo many times and I did not know about this place.
Will have to take a tour after the virus subsides.
Thanks.
Thanks for the project 😀 👍 😊

An amazing oasis. Very beautiful and smart design. We are also trying to create something like that. Greetings from Russia.
Where are roads into & out of development. Do residents have cars? If they do where do they park? Basic design seems inovative. Wish more developments cared about the environment & trided to protect it.
Cool.
How about solar panels on all roofs?
Desert = lots of sun = lots of electricity.

Why concrete sidewalks? Heat trap and not sustainable. Use mulch pathways. .
We use filtered water for irrigation? Why? I thought we used gray water, like the stuff that goes down the drain. Why is our society so stupid?
