1. Because Colorado is dry and most water is already promised to people, farms, and cities, collecting too much rain could reduce the water that flows downstream for others.
2. States must protect existing water rights and the health of rivers and ecosystems, so they limit private collection so everyone's legal water share and the environment aren’t harmed.
