  Usually they are there to make sure the (storm water or mixed) sewerage systems get properly flushed. It’s not a ridiculous as it sounds at first.

    And yet they allow corporations to relentlessly pillage all water sources going 2-3x their paid water rights while the populations eat the costs and effects…

    It is all excuses to increase water insecurity.

    I understand some of the reasoning behind it, but it doesn’t logically make much sense in the end, as if you collect rainwater, you’re eventually going to return it later…

      The water cycle ends with me.

        I can’t figure out what you mean.

    I think that might be mostly from inherited old regulations/infrastructure, as most modern policies revolve around having separate storm water and sewage system for the opposite reason, as they don’t want all the extra rain water overflowing the sewage treatment systems
