Some places even make it illegal to collect rainwater. It's ridiculous.

No state currently does. Very few have limits on the amount of catchment, the only one I know is Utah and the limit is 2500 gallons. Other states just say it can't be used for potable water

I assume rainwater collection problems usually occur on the municipal or county level.

[-] btsax@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

I have never heard of one. I lived in one for a while that actually encouraged rainwater collection because it helps keep stormwater systems from overflowing during storms.

Colorado did until like 2016

Yeah, same state that wanted us to get rid of lawns but only allows rain water collection before the water hits the ground. Thought that was a weird wrinkle
