Why is it illegal to collect rainwater in some places? It doesn’t make sense to me
In: Economics
In general and most places, you can collect rainwater, but there may be limits or restrictions.
These limits/restrictions are in place to ensure there is still plenty of water flowing downstream to others who need it.
Some places require that the water-collection containers are closed to ensure the water barrels don’t become mosquito breeding grounds.
