Synopsis
EVERY DROP is a 148-page, full-color textbook that explains how to capture, store, treat, and use rainwater, taught the way real engineering deserves to be taught. It opens with the science—the water cycle, the math of how much a roof actually yields—then moves systematically through the hardware: roofs and gutters, first-flush diverters, rain barrels, above- and below-ground tanks, sizing for a household, gravity head and pumps, irrigation and indoor/potable use. Later units cover sensors and automation, solar-powered systems, and the U.S. laws, incentives, and backflow standards (including ICC 805) that shape what's legal. A standout Chapter 22 surveys the world's ground-based and traditional methods—sand dams, johads, Brazil's cisterns, Australia's BASIX scheme—each illustrated with original engineering diagrams. Every core concept follows a Fact → Breakdown → Interpretation → Context structure, and each unit ends with worked examples, key terms, and review problems. The book finishes with a complete worked build for a 2,000 sq ft home in the Houston/Southern Plains region, plus a glossary and a real-sourced bibliography. Roughly 43,000 words, aimed at readers 12–17 and the adults who learn and build with them.
