This sadly is true in many carribean island governments (no rain barrels allowed), the water belongs "to the people", but even socialist democrat areas in detroit it is Clown World regarding rain. IF YOU DO NOT COLLECT water, you are taxed for "storm drain impact" for "water runoff", hundreds of thousands of dollars in arrears possibly! But clown world Detroit at the same time charging you for rain water theoretical runoff based on square footage.... ALSO will not let you legally collect the rain water in any possible way at all.

Even farms cannot build holding ponds across the USA.

You own your land, but you cannot own any minerals under it sometimes, or water on or over it, or airspace above it, you can of course pay taxes for your land so the niggers can have full bellies on their free GibsMeDat food cards.

Water isn't always under it.

Like when it comes from the fucking sky for example.

This is about controlling food by proxy. Because who controls water, controls food, and by extension, the people.

"mineral" meant all but water underground, but even water deep wells are regulated in some areas. I mean "mineral rights", like oil :

Cistern size laws in some countries, to limit "selling" or "speculating" , if you construct beyond three barrels or so. Bermuda is the most lenient and 14,000 gallons per bedroom allowed for a building. ( 1870 sq feet of water, or 12x12x12 feet max) Not allowed to have more than 14,000. Bermuda also makes you prove your water tanks are emptied and cleaned once every six years, leaving you with no water that day, until rains return, or rely on other nearby cistern, or order a "load" of water for a couple hundred dollars. It's a $1,000 dollar cost to clean.
