It was a surprise to me to discover that in several US states, including Colorado,
Utah and Washington, it is illegal to collect rainwater on your own property,
(although restrictions have been relaxed in some areas). The laws denying you the
use of water that falls on your house and land have been on the books for some time
but have not been enforced. Recent droughts have changed this. Now you can own
a rain barrel but you are not allowed to use it without a water use permit; this is so
even though rain barrel usage doesn’t have much of an impact on droughts.
Further, in these states you are not permitted the re-use of gray water (bath or laun-

dry water) for watering plants or gardens. The rights to water are legally allocated
to the state and they charge you for use of tap water by each independent use. No
free rides. No getting around the meter on the tap. This is about economics and in-
www.realtor.ca come and not about water conservation. You own less and less while the state owns
more and more. Stripped of the right to your own water you’re reduced to paying a
lot of money for the ability to extract food production from the land and, in return,
are allowed to keep only a limited share of the profits.

Water is arguably the world’s most important commodity and we control vast quan-

issue never really dies away because our neighbour to the south is a big and poorly
managed consumer. Canada sits on 6.5% of the world`s renewable fresh water,
