World Water Reserve recently featured an article about rainwater collection restrictions in some states.

Who knew?

"So, what's the truth? Is rainwater harvesting really illegal?"

Benzinga.com reports, "As the U.S. economy is grappling with multiple headwinds that have been spearheaded by the impact of the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hikes, another risk is looming on the horizon: dry weather."

Civil Eats reports, "After the first of California’s winter storms, Michael Naito went out into his dormant fields to open his water valves, intentionally flooding the land.

A blog post by Myron Ebell and Steven J. Milloy published by the Competitive Enterprise Institute asserts,

"Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.

"Ehrlich has been singing this same song for nearly 60 years."
