Rainwater

[(Anonymous)]

It used to be true, especially in Oregon and Colorado for some reason, that personal rainwater collection was flat out illegal in some states. That is no longer the case though, harvesting rainwater is legal in all US states now, buuuuuuut, some states do heavily regulate to the point it is not as simple as just setting up a bucket at the end of the guttering.

Yay, America.

That's absolutely demented. Like, what possible reason could they give for it? That isn't "we don't want you to have stuff for free so we can charge you for our version"? It's one shade off making you pay for oxygen. I'm absolutely knocked flat by this.

Thanks for the info - learn something every day!

Like a lot of stuff in American history, especially Western American history, it all goes back to the frontier days and how one of the things the cattle barons and the homesteading settlers used to do was sabotage each other's water supplies. In some places if you dammed a single stream, or harvested all the flash flood causing rainwater, then there was nothing left for people down stream. It was a mess, and laws were implemented to stop rival factions literally causing each other to flee or die of thirst. And like most of American laws, they stuck around long after they ceased to be relevant, and got applied in places it was never relevant. West of the mountain Oregon was never gonna be stuck for water like Eastern Oregon, but since it was all Oregon...

Water rights laws are still fucking up California even today.
