Is it Illegal to Collect Rainwater: State by State Guide
With instances of individuals facing legal consequences for their rainwater harvesting endeavors in some states, the idea of rainwater harvesting being an illegal activity has quickly gained traction across the internet.
In this article, we’ll uncover the truth about the legality of rainwater harvesting and provide information on the specific laws for each state.
Introduction to Rainwater Harvesting: Methods and Advantages
To make the process of Rainwater Harvesting easier, it is advisable to build some sort of collection system.
But before delving into the various components of an RWH system, it is, first of all important, to understand how useful rainwater harvesting is as well as the benefits of rainwater harvesting.

Water-Efficient Technology Opportunity: Rainwater Harvesting Systems
The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) identified rainwater harvesting systems as an alternative water technology that is relevant to federal facilities, is commercially available, and may offer an opportunity to offset freshwater use. This technology overview is intended to provide agencies with key information to deploy rainwater harvesting systems.
Rainwater Harvesting State Regulations and Technical Resources
The state-by-state information on rainwater harvesting regulations was compiled and assembled into an interactive map that is color coded by state regulations. The map provides a visual representation of the general types of rainwater harvesting policies across the country as well as general information on the state programs if applicable. The map allows the user to quickly discern where rainwater harvesting is supported and regulated by the state.
