Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The law used to be the only obstacle; collecting rain was technically illegal in many states because any precipitation was subject to that strict hierarchy of water rights stretching back to the mid-1800s. But studies estimate that only a fraction of rain actually makes it to a river — less, during a drought.
