Those who support it do not understand water rights laws. Allowing rainwater capture will open up new areas to development where a well or other water source was not available (e.g. for 35 acre ranchettes in the mountains). Same thing happened when exempt wells were approved. It will not reduce demand for water one bit, but rather cause more water use. In a system where every drop of water is owned, if one person does not use it it goes to the next in line. That line is so long that the water never gets left in the stream.

That's where we bought ours. Interesting that the State of Washington outlaws rain runoff collection because the City of Seattle sells rain barrels.
