Synopsis

Protect your family with practical, field-tested guidance on safe water, waste, and soil health.

This comprehensive guide shows how to reduce waterborne disease risk, plan reliable drainage, and dispose of waste in rural homes and farms.

In clear, step-by-step terms, the book explains how wells can become polluted, why groundwater flow matters, and how geology and rock formations shape safe water. It covers practical drainage solutions, both surface and subsoil, and explains how to set up septic-like systems that protect the land and water supply. It also offers thoughtful approaches to garbage, kitchen waste, and composting, with methods that fit homes without full sewer access.
