Cecilia Green, associate professor of sociology, and co-author Farah Nibbs, a graduate student at SUNY ESF, suggest that rainwater harvesting – a low-cost, low-tech way to collect and store rainwater – could be deployed across the Caribbean to improve communities’ access to water both after storms and in everyday life. Their article "Harvesting rain could help Caribbean countries keep the water on after hurricanes" was published in the Conversation. 07/18/18
