The US does the same thing. People need to push back. Hard.

Rainwater collection laws in the US are based on conservation and fair allocation of a scarce resource.

In places that don't have scarcity, you actually have the opposite issue, where drainage might be restricted or mandated to prevent issues from harming your neighbors.

I can't build a dam on my property because it might flood my neighbor. People in the southwest can't collect water at will because it might dry out their neighbors.
