http://www.truth-code.com/2014/08/it-begins-us-citizen-goes-to-jail-for.html Since when do you need a permit to collect rainwater? An Oregonian man has been sent to prison after local authorities found he had collected more than 13 million gallons of rainwater in 3 man-made ponds on his own property. http://www.truth-code.com/2014/08/it-begins-us-citizen-goes-to-jail-for.html 2 Likes 1 Share

Everyone single person doing that will simply mean a shortage of water to the main land water ways. Streams,rivers and ultimately the bigger water bodies. If the water balance is disrupted,imagine what will happen to water organisms and soil moisture. goldfish80: 2 Likes |

aquatic ecosystem contributes to a large proportion of our planet's biotic productivity. smh for some comments here, when I tell people that nigerians are one of the most semi educated uncivilized third world populace, they disagree, they think using blackberry and fixing artificial hair is civilization. 4 Likes |
