if crops would grow the next year after the flood or if it would damage the balance of the soil. Turns out, crops grew just fine. He then started advocating the other growers do the same. Then guess what, the state came along and said that he had to take the dams down because the rain water was not his.
In Oceanside and also several of our surrounding communities it's illegal to capture rain water and use later.
What do you do with that?

Building dams sounds like a harmless thing but what happens when the dams fail and unleash a lot more water than would normally flow all at once? We have some of those same issues up here with orchardists installing ponds that they use for frost control in the spring or for evaporative cooling in the summer. After having seen the fallout of a poorly constructed pond, I fully understand the need for those things to be built correctly, and licensed properly.
As to whether the rainwater is owned by an individual, that's a tougher one. It seems like a silly question, but consider what would occur if someone were to claim that they were using the river running through their property as their collection vessel, dammed the river, and all of the downstream users were now shut out of the river flow? Obviously that isn't going to happen with a residential system and as far as I can tell nearly everywhere allows for residential rainwater collection systems, although they may have to be permitted first.

Here's an example from 9-10 years ago.

I just plain don't understand why so many commercial businesses, have grass surrounding them. Why does a bank need a quarter acre of grass? Or a warehouse? or virtually any other commercial business? I just don't get that at all (at least those located in a desert)...nobody uses the grass, ever, and all they do is waste water on it....put some gravel and native plants, shrubs in there....
My uncle is the maintenance manager at Falcon Ridge Gold Course in Mesquite, NV...they water their entire course with "grey water"...recycled sewage basically.
