The United States does the same thing all over the Southwest. Rural people will tell you.

It might be the same as Canada where you only can with a permit just to be sure people aren't drinking mold water

There's a difference between needing a permit to collect rainwater because the water belongs to everyone, and being forbidden from collecting rainwater because the water belongs to an oppressing party.
