Rain water. We have pretty much permanent water restrictions (not necessary, but that's a whole political thing not worth getting into). The rainwater tank allows us to fill the gaps during the dryer season, without butting up against the restrictions so hard (we average about 1600-1700mm/63-67" of rainfall a year, with late winter getting about 1/4 to 1/3 the rainfall of late summer, on average).

Cheers,
Marc

It's illegal to collect rainwater here.

one of the stupider things(laws) I've ever heard of...

Illegal to collect rainwater? How come. It's like trying to charge you for the air you breathe.

because the way the law is written in Colorado, and many other water parched states, the rainfall belongs to the government and is figured into the annual totals of rainfall and goes to determine the amounts of water allowed to be released from dams. they are working on re-writing that law

If we at some time would end up in a Third World War it's said to be over resources including water. There's already big conflicts around the world involving water disputes:

I'm surprised they haven't legislated against it raining unless to a timetable and place....

I'm sure they have tried, but probably never got out of committee...

That is one sad law.

I have two rain barrels. Keeping up with them is a lot of work, but I use them every chance I get!!!
