    Collecting Rainwater Now Illegal in Many States ???

    Is this true ? If it is its crazy as fuck

    Many of the freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S. are quickly eroding as the nation transforms from the land of the free into the land of the enslaved, but what I’m about to share with you takes the assault on our freedoms to a whole new level. You may not be aware of this, but many Western states, including Utah, Washington and Colorado, have long outlawed individuals from collecting rainwater on their own properties because, according to officials,that rain belongs to someone else.

    As bizarre as it sounds, laws restricting property owners from “diverting” water that falls on their own homes and land have been on the books for quite some time in many Western states. Only recently, as droughts and renewed interest in water conservation methods have become more common, have individuals and business owners started butting heads with law enforcement over the practice of collecting rainwater for personal use.

          Of course they want a piece of the action from the guy using it for commercial purposes.

                  That is the craziest thing I have ever heard The water guy on the video said that even the girl collecting water and using it for her plants is illegal and she should have some bullshit water rights thingy but they wont go after "small fish"

                  That is crazy when you are collecting water from your own roof.

                      There's no Fluoride in rainwater, it's important to protect people's teeth by forcing them to use the main water supply......or Not

                      Some are saying that the Feds are after lists of customers from a food storage facility.

                      If people are storing food and collecting rainwater it's a whole lot harder to control them; ideally you need to be able to put whatever you like in their water supply (e.g. Fluoride, Lithium), and for them to follow you around when you hold up a Scooby Snack

                          Next they'll be complaining when you piss on a tree rather than into a toilet.

                          Around here, new houses MUST have a rainwater tank and collection system, it is permitted, and mandated...

                              Definitely crazy! In the UK, national preservationists would have a field day


                              Water butts save so much water in summer periods, for watering of gardens & much more when the frigging hose pipe bans are prominent

                                          Collecting rain water has been illegal forever. If you'd just educate yourself a little instead of looking at if out of context with no understanding of it.

                                              They would never do that. How else would people inhale all the chemtrails?

                                                  Depends which state you're talking about; it's a law associated with many Western states

                                                      One of the prime examples. IIRC - Go research it yourself though.

                                                      Arizona gets pretty much all of it's water from the Colorado River. Arizona has almost NO water for itself, it gets it all from the river flowing in from the north.

                                                      So, the states to the north in which the Colorado River flows through - have laws about collecting rain water. Because that rain water needs to make it's way to the river. If you had too many people collecting the water instead Arizona and the people living there would have serious serious issues.

                                                      Just go research it yourself, it's not that hard. I'll never understand why so many people go watch a youtube video and suddenly have some moronic idea about what is happening in the world. How do you get through life believing every little thing that is told to you?

                                                                          So, the states to the north in which the Colorado River flows through - have laws about collecting rain water. Because that rain water needs to make it's way to the river. If you had too many people collecting the water instead Arizona and the people living there would have serious serious issues.

                                                                          Just go research it yourself, it's not that hard. I'll never understand why so many people go watch a youtube video and suddenly have some moronic idea about what is happening in the world. How do you get through life believing every little thing that is told to you?

And now that they are looking for even more way to get money, politicians started talking about a new rainwater-tax. They're basically planning to tax you based on the size of your roof.

                                                                                      Most states have laws concerning diverting runoff, primarily to protect the rights of those who may be adversely affected by the change - imagine there is a dry creek bed that fills a small pond used as a water hole for livestock on a nearby farm and someone redirects it for their own purposes - the farmer should have some recourse.

                                                                                      Or, imagine you live next to the woman with the rain barrels. Where before you had no problem, now you live next door to a mosquito breeding ground.

                                                                                      It seems reasonable to me to require people to obtain permits allowing them to capture, store, and use the water in proscribed methods designed to have minimum impact on their neighbors, or the community as a whole.

                                                                                      On a personal note, my grandmother's crazy neighbor decided to block the runoff that runs through their back yards when it rains. Now the water pools in my grandmothers back yard, and as a consequence her downstairs floods every time there is any appreciable rainfall. She never did anything about it due to repeated bad run-ins with that crazy bitch, but now that she has passed we need to address it before we eventually sell the house.

Well done Unfortunately there's some evidence of side-effects, but it's too late in the day to worry about that. Enjoy

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

And now that they are looking for even more way to get money, politicians started talking about a new rainwater-tax. They're basically planning to tax you based on the size of your roof.
                                                                                                                                              I have a well and pump potable groundwater for drinking and household use. I also own this land's mineral rights but riparian rights ?

The first theory, known as the absolute ownership theory, derives from ENGLISH LAW and affords landowners the right to withdraw as much underground water as they wish, for whatever purpose, requiring their neighbors to fend for themselves. Under the second theory, known as the American rule, landowners may withdraw as much underground water as they like as long as it is not done for a malicious purpose or in a wasteful manner. This theory is now applied in a majority of jurisdictions in the United States.

                                                                                                                                              California has developed a third theory of underground water rights, known as the correlative theory. The correlative theory provides each landowner with an equal right to use underground water for a beneficial purpose. But landowners are not given the prerogative to seriously deplete a neighbor's water supply. In the event of water shortage, courts may apportion an underground supply among landowners. Many states facing acute or chronic shortages have adopted the correlative theory of under-ground water rights. ...

                                                                                                                                                          Arizona gets pretty much all of it's water from the Colorado River. Arizona has almost NO water for itself, it gets it all from the river flowing in from the north.

                                                                                                                                                          So, the states to the north in which the Colorado River flows through - have laws about collecting rain water. Because that rain water needs to make it's way to the river. If you had too many people collecting the water instead Arizona and the people living there would have serious serious issues.

                                                                                                                                                          Just go research it yourself, it's not that hard. I'll never understand why so many people go watch a youtube video and suddenly have some moronic idea about what is happening in the world. How do you get through life believing every little thing that is told to you?
                                                                                                                                                          I get that this is a common sense law in some places, but I wonder if they also control the corporations the same way as they do the public? For example, they say that water can't be destroyed, only converted to a different form, and so minus the water we've sent into space, we have the same amount of water on earth as when the dinosaurs lived.

                                                                                                                                                          I've often wondered what kind of effect putting so much water into bottles, cans, and tanks has on the worldwide water supply and levels? Think how many cans of soup there are right now, sitting on shelves. How many cases of coke, beer, wine, juice... It must be astronomical.

For example, they say that water can't be destroyed, only converted to a different form, and so minus the water we've sent into space, we have the same amount of water on earth as when the dinosaurs lived.

                                                                                                                                                                      I've often wondered what kind of effect putting so much water into bottles, cans, and tanks has on the worldwide water supply and levels? Think how many cans of soup there are right now, sitting on shelves. How many cases of coke, beer, wine, juice... It must be astronomical.

Within two or three weeks of releasing they were back to the regular cans. I can't imagine the number of cans of coke sold in a year.

People thought it was diet coke, didn't realize it was a special can. I had to do a double take at the pizza shop when I got one because I thought it was diet.
