@mrman I'm sad to learn Kansas regulates rainwater harvesting. For a 'red' state, we sure do have alot of regulation, taxes, and democrat govs...

But can't for the life of me figure out why you would limit the amount you are allowed to capture.

So does Colorado.Limited to two 55 gallon barrels if you have a single family home or a small (4 or less) multifamily facility.

What you can use it for is also limited - it depends a bit if you have well water or not. -

The official reason is "water rights".You are diverting water away from the city / company that has the water rights. It was only recently that you couldn't collect rain water for any use.

The streams, rivers, and underground aquifers are all subject to water rights.

First beneficial use is the general rule for who gets that water first.So you have young cities like Aurora CO having to buy water rights from groups who have more senior rights. We may have water restrictions despite Denver nearby not having restrictions due to it's more senior rights.
It sucks.
