I've searched this sight so as not to start a new thread but I can't find what I am looking for which is a book or two on water harvesting. One was titled something along the lines of "water harvesting in arid zones" and the other had something to do with ponds (apparently popular due to how many times I saw it mentioned). I know what I am asking for is a stretch, but does anybody know the name of these books, or any other good books along the same topic? Thank you all in advance!!

Maybe you mean the "Rainwater Harvesting for Dryalands and Beyond" series by Brand Lancaster?:

The first two volumes have been published, and the third is pending. What he has released so far is excellent.

That's it! Thank you very much. Do you guys know of any other books? I am about to start a pond project (a pretty big one) on my property so I am looking for as much material as possible.
