I tried to find the specific court cases, but the internet is being gay and I couldn't find them. I remember hearing about these cases over 20 years ago, from someone who worked in water management and water ecosystems in Colorado. I know for a fact that Colorado pumps water from one side of the continental divide (Rocky Mountains) to the other. Colorado receives most of its precipitation on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains, and California has bought massive amounts of water rights of the Colorado river (the most of any other state). However, apparently a law recently came into effect in Colorado where residents can now collect up to 110 gallons of rain water on their own property (still bullshit that it has such a small limit, though). Previously, it was illegal for Colorado residents to collect any rainwater on their own property.
