[QUOTE="Crwth, post: 75992094, member: 347742"] Well, yeah. I live in Colorado, the headwaters of major rivers running west and east - in particular, the Colorado. The restrictions put on water use, who has rights to what and how much water, etc. is immense. Water law affects a lot of things. You might have a river or stream running across property you own that you can't touch. Can't dam it; can't tap it; can't touch it. Your land might sit atop a water table - around here, they're just underground rivers. Same thing. Similar goes for things like catching rainwater off your roof - you can't just assume that because falling rain landed on your roof that it belongs to you. Most likely it belongs to some golf course in Phoenix. ;) [/QUOTE]
