In such arid conditions, Lancaster consistently models that catching over {{convert|100,000|USgal}} of rainwater to feed food-bearing shade trees, abundant gardens, and a thriving landscape is a much more viable option than the municipal system of directing it into storm drains and sewer systems.^[2]

A 2009 project involved acting as a representative for the U.S. State Department on an educational tour in the Middle East.^[3]
