@@happinesstan it's more for drought areas. If everyone collected their rainwater in tanks like this in a place where the water table is already stretched dangerously thin, then even less water actually makes it to the rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, etc. It's drastic, but if enough people were doing it it can cause huge downstream effects. You don't exactly have deserts and massive (years long) droughts in the UK, so you don't need the restrictions.

However, most Colorado homeowners are allowed to collect rainwater in rain barrels with a combined storage capacity of 110 gallons or less. The collected water must be used for outdoor purposes, like watering lawns or gardens, filling hot tubs, or washing cars. Rainwater cannot be used as drinking water or indoors for household purposes
