Short Description

Collecting, or harvesting rainwater has been done for thousands of years. But with increasing interest in using this tool for stormwater management and to supplement water supplies, certain legal issues have come to the forefront. The Department of Ecology (Ecology) is developing a rule to clarify ambiguity in existing state water law on the collection and use of rainwater.
