Kansas and Colorado have had a decades long battle over ownership of water. Basically, Colorado is such an arid state, that they want it all, and everybody else's too. I've lived in both states and found Colorado to be quite thugish over water rights.
In Virginia, rain barrel systems are highly encouraged. During a drought last summer, people were not allowed to water their lawns unless they used rain barrel water. The result was that rain barrel lawns remained green while utility users had to let their lawns and gardens die.
