Re: Rainwater

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.
