Do ya think?

Water issues out West are wacko and water issues in the East have become the same for different reasons.

If one has land at the height of the watershed, should that (surface) water be one's own?

If one has land that has no (surface) transit of water from above, is that one's own water?

If one can save water from one's own land that doesn't come from surface water from above lands, shouldn't one have total property right to same?

Just wait until teh UN gets into regulating your properties rights, much less the flow from your bladder.

Tell him to prepare for personal perforation should he trespass on your property.

Why just let water flow to the oceans when the "Consensus Scientists" tell us that the ocean levels are due to rise because of Global Warming and wreak havoc.?

Impounding rain water can help with Global Sea Level rise. Save the Earth! Impound rain water.

Nah, it wouldn’t come to that.

I’d just get a government bureaucrat to come over to tell him to leave. He’d skiddadle right away.

Paul needs to contact the Pacific Legal Foundation to look at his case but water wars were quite frequent in the west...
