I grew up along the coast of California with a mountain range, the Sierra Nevada, in my back yard. I was blessed to live in a place where every year, like clockwork, moisture would float in from the Pacific, hit the Sierra, and drop an abundance of rain and snow. These same mountains would store all this water in the frozen state for half a year or so, then release it one drop at a time all throughout the long, dry season.

This reliable water supply visits most every corner of the world, year after year. For those billions who are chronically thirsty, all that's missing is a means to catch, store and distribute each seasons' rainfall. Thanks to our Sierra, California has never been a level playing field.

With the RainCatcher project I aim to bring the mountains to the people, tilting the playing field in their favor. There is no limit to how much clean drinking water can be caught, stored and enjoyed.
