Cool Water Management Resource
There’s no doubt that the Worldwide Web has revolutionized our ability to share and obtain information. One of the downsides of surfing the web, however - even with with Google’s increasingly powerful search algorithm - is that it can be a fairly tiring experience at times. Very often, you need to visit a number of different sites in order to find sufficient information on a given topic. As such, it’s always nice to come across a resource that is absolutely jam-packed with top quality, relevant information!
As you probably know by now, we just love telling you about these sorts of resources!
I actually came across Oasis Design not long after we started EcoSherpa and even added them to our directory - but as is often the case, I made a mental note to explore the site further and well…you know what happens from there.
For whatever reason they popped into my head again today so I decided to pay them a visit and write this long-overdue post. The timing of the mind ‘pop’ was actually very good due to my increased focus and interest re: household water management. If you visit the Oasis site you will see that this is clearly a topic they know a great deal about! In fact this seems to be their primary focus. That being said, you will also find a decent amount of info relating to ecological design and sustainable living in general.
I should probably mention that a fair amount of their info (in the form of articles and books) is for sale, but definitely don’t let that scare you off! There is a wealth of free info, and the products for sale look to be excellent resources.
A little more about Oasis (from the site):
Oasis Design is a wellspring of original content and designs which you won’t find elsewhere. We specialize in the nuts and bolts of sustainability—practical systems for living well, in harmony with nature and each other. These include designs for managing water, wastewater, energy, money and other resources. Our goal is to live really well, on a small amount of well-managed resources, and help others do the same. We don’t need resource wars…we just need to make the most of our fair share. There are several hundred pages of free information here on our web site, as well as an additional several hundred in our books and articles.
