      Fines/violence, usually.

      It’s actually not uncommon to have laws that restrict gathering rain water in many places. Lots of US states do as well. If water is collected locally on a mass scale, it messes with water tables/rivers/lakes/etc.

      Forbidding it when a place doesnt have otherwise dependable water infastructure is inhuman however.

        I imagine the ban on rainwater collection is from before the war, and I imagine there are similar laws in Israel.

        There’s lots to be mad at the Israelis for doing. We don’t need to make things up.
