"All your content (except some of the dry legal stuff, but I'm pleased it's there anyway) is fascinating, inspiring, intelligent. I intend to implement much of the technology you advocate and implement once I have the time and space in which to do so." —Visitor from Santa Barbara

More raves

 

Oasis Design is a wellspring of decades worth of original designs and content 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.

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. Besides the hundreds of interlinked pages below, there are dozens of "easter eggs" which serve as hidden portals to our site, each baited with uniquely useful content on this or that obscure topic.

...and all this is the published 5% or 10% tip of a much larger unpublished iceberg.

We hope you enjoy your visit, and find something which helps you thrive.

Yours, The Oasis Team
