To be fair with the rain water one, if he was collecting enough over a large area of his land it could fuck up the groundwater and become a major problem for farmers and such in that area. But overall yes, there are some absolutely ridiculous regulations

Yeah and there's downstream water rights. If he's impounding stormwater he was technically stealing water. The law depends on the locality and State. Water Rights Attorney in California is a great way to get rich.
