Why is it illegal to collect rainwater in some places? It doesn’t make sense to me
In: Economics
For places with limited water, it is a valuable resource that needs to be controlled and shared by all. If farms or people can catch and keep millions of gallons of rainwater, that’s water that isn’t flowing into the river that is the source of water for tens of millions of people. There’s tens of millions of people living in parts of the US where water is scarce resource. If even a fraction of those people collected rainwater, there wouldn’t be enough to fill the reservoirs to the point we need to ensure everyone has water on tap.
