Saving water wherever you can is more and more critical as we cope with a multi-year drought. That’s led a lot of Tucsonans into harvesting rain water.
The big bright blooms in the yard of Bob Bortner and his husband Larry Straka get a lot of their water from the sky, collected into two large tanks.
Some of the rainwater goes into watering cans, but also into small channels that carry water where it’s needed. Most of their plants thrive without a lot of water. A large share of the water moves through carefully crafted contours placed to carry water from the harvesting system, and collect and hold rain as it comes straight from the sky.
