Better watch out, those drops of rain on your jacket could get you a trip to jail.

Ok so I know this is old news and I'm behind the times, but this one blew me away when I saw it recently. I did a little searching and found that it is true. According to Colorado law,

"Colorado Water Law requires that precipitation fall to the ground, run off and into the river of the watershed where it fell. Because rights to water are legally allocated in this state, an individual may not capture and use water to which he/she does not have a right. We must remember also that rain barrels don’t help much in a drought because a drought by its very nature supplies little in the way of snow or rain."

So watch out everyone. I'm sure air will be next, better start training on holding your breath.
