@@happinesstan it's more for drought areas. If everyone collected their rainwater in tanks like this in a place where the water table is already stretched dangerously thin, then even less water actually makes it to the rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, etc. It's drastic, but if enough people were doing it it can cause huge downstream effects. You don't exactly have deserts and massive (years long) droughts in the UK, so you don't need the restrictions.

You are right, the government does not own rain water, but they can control the collection of said rain water. Some states only allow collection of rain water off a roof, but not allow other means. Some states will require a permit and inspection of the plumbing of the collection system and evaporation control. And other states will regulate because the collection of rain water could allow a breeding ground for mosquitos.
