The title of this article is a misnomer. The legality of capturing rainwater varies state
by state, and it is not a national law. In Colorado, like Utah, it is illegal to capture
rainwater because of complex and old water laws. Yet in Texas, you can, like they do at
the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center. Check your state water laws, you might be
lucky enough to live in a place where you can.
