Depends on which state. Here in CO it's from the 19th century and basically is a water rights issue, and because we are a mountain state, the water is already "spoken for"
I think there was a law that was going to change that however and make it legal to collect rainwater again.

It still ends up where it was going in the first place. Thats what water does, you cant really waste water.

>>140543684
It's real, some states in the American West have serious water problems. Small amounts of water and a growing population. Laws that prevent people from collecting water aren't intended to punish those who fill up a bucket, it's to prevent people from build fuckhuge several-hundred-thousand-gallon reservoirs on their property and drying up cities downstream. Water management is very important when you don't have enough water to go around. That said, these rainwater laws are on a state-by-state basis and typically only exist in states that actually need them.

>>140544231

>>140544578
If it were only as simple as collecting rainwater just for your daily drinking needs it wouldn't be a problem. The problem arises when someone decides he's going to build a dozen lakes on his property and the city downstream dies of dehydration. In that case, it doesn't actually ever "go back into the system".

Generals minerals and hard water build up. It varies greatly depending on your water source and what part of the country you are in.
The best bet is to live as close to the source as you can, with minimal cities and farmland in between. Mountain states all have better than average water compared to the rest of the country.

>>140541689
Old story is old.
"Harrington stored and used water illegally by placing dams across channels on his property and preventing the flow of water out of these artificial reservoirs without obtaining a water right permit. The height of each dam varies; two dams stand about ten feet tall and the third stands about 20 feet tall. The total amount of water collected behind these dams totals about 40 acre feet; enough to fill almost 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools. These man-made reservoirs feature boat docks, boats, and were stocked by Harrington with trout and Bluegill for recreational fishing.

The state first identified Harrington’s illegal water use more than ten years ago and initiated enforcement action to discontinue his illegal use of water. After numerous attempts by OWRD and the Watermaster to achieve voluntary compliance, the Department enlisted the assistance of the Oregon State Police in 2002. Citations were issued, and Harrington pleaded guilty to several violations. He was assessed a nominal fine and ordered to drain the three reservoirs, which he did. However, Harrington again closed the headgates in 2004 and refilled the reservoirs. As a result, OWRD and the Oregon State Police submitted reports to the Jackson County District Attorney’s Office alleging additional violations of Oregon water law. That office filed misdemeanor charges against Harrington, and in 2008 he pled guilty to one count. He was issued another fine, placed on one year probation, and was again ordered to drain the reservoirs."

So the folklore began, “it is illegal to collect rain water in Oregon.” Not true. The bottom line is, you must have a water rights permit to use public water in Oregon, but exceptions are in place for the general public to capture rain water in a barrel, bucket, tub or rain gauge. So for most living in Oregon, it is legal to collect rainwater.

Other states maintaining rainwater collection laws include Arizona, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington.

These laws don’t make it illegal to collect rainwater; they outline allowable uses for rainwater and establish tax credits for people who invest in rainwater collection systems.

The government says he violated the Clean Water Act by building a dam on a creek without a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers. Further, the EPA claims that material from his pond is being discharged into other waterways. Johnson says he built a stock pond -- a man-made pond meant to attract wildlife -- which is exempt from Clean Water Act regulations.
