HAHA, YEAH!!!! Let them take each other to court. Meanwhile.....I'm collecting more rain haha.

It really is so retarded though.

If the rain falls on your garden, do you get into trouble and then need to pay for it? HELL NO!!! Well, what about if you made a water filtration system using just plants, instead of using rain water. Would that be legal?

Take them to court, their rain is trespassing on your land.

Sounds good, until they say they'll build a cover over your land, so that they catch all the water. Then I'm screwed.

Its all about greed by a few people around the world.

Let them enforce it. They will need to visit every property and check the water capture. I'll just redirect my water to a spout that I can move around as required.

I'm thinking of going down the 'water-but disguised as a compost heap' route. That would be much easier.
