At first, I was astonished, amazed and disgusted to hear that WA had any laws against collecting rainwater. It took me 2-3 years to dig enough ditches to get the darn constant rain to run off, away from my beds!
Then I realized "dry, inland WA" is nothing like "wet, coastal WA". OK, people living in a desert might get wierd about water.
But what could they do with collected water, that would keep it from eventually going wherever it was going before they (briefly) diverted it?
So now I'm just astonished and amazed.
But I am glad that ATP now has a Permaculture forum. Thanks, Chris and Dave!
