Amazing!

"Prior to the passage of these laws, Douglas County, Colorado, conducted a study on how rainwater collection affects aquifer and groundwater supplies. The study revealed that letting people collect rainwater on their properties actually reduces demand from water facilities and improves conservation."

Wow! Heaven knows we can't do anything to help ease the demand on water plants and conserve water.
