This isn't as bad as it sounds. Water prevented from reaching the ground in watersheds means groundwater doesn't get replenished. Now maybe a house here and there collecting rainwater isn't a problem, but what about Nestle? The law should allow reasonable rainwater collection by individuals or family households while preventing theft of water from a region.

means groundwater doesn't get replenished.
