Rainwater collection laws in the US are based on conservation and fair allocation of a scarce resource.

In places that don't have scarcity, you actually have the opposite issue, where drainage might be restricted or mandated to prevent issues from harming your neighbors.

I can't build a dam on my property because it might flood my neighbor. People in the southwest can't collect water at will because it might dry out their neighbors.

The rain is scarce. But only 9.99$!
