Generally rainwater collection laws aren’t for regular folks with a rain barrel getting water off their roofs. They are for farmers who have 10 acre retention ponds that store huge amounts of water. That water is needed down river so you need to share and there are pretty strong agreements about who can take how much water out of a river to ensure everyone gets what they need and the colorado river doesn’t dry up before it gets to the gulf..
