Both comprehensive and simple by K. Brooks (Vista, CA, USA) 5 Stars
February 05, 2009
This book manages to cover everything with a fair amount of detail, and keep it simple enough for owner-builders and do-it-yourselfers. It's a great mix of detailed technical information and a simple, plain english introduction to the ideas.
Even if you don't think you need this book, you probably need it. Useful for gardeners, builders, landscapers, and anyone who wants to help conserve resources. If you live in an area with water restrictions or upcoming drought restrictions on water usage, this book will save your yard.

A lot of gray area in this by Kevin Guru (Irving, TX USA)  3 Stars
May 27, 2008
After reading the numerous reviews on this site prior to purchasing this book, I thought I was getting a very thorough book that would assist with "legal" system design and reclaimation strategies. While this book does gloss over them, it refers you to a sister publication for all "legal" builing issues and concentrates on illegal or 'radical' methods as they call it. Take this in mind of you are looking to design a 'legal' system for your home.
