There are a couple of states (think Colorado is one) that prohibit collecting rainwater as it is a violation of someones water right....

Seems that there are claims to ALL water (rain, hail, snow, etc) as belonging to someone downstream with senior water rights.

If you want to see a real morass of legislation, rules, regulations, and litigation, start reviewing the western water rights issues.
