satellite views of the 3 reservoirs on Crowfoot Rd.
This item updates item 'Man Sentenced To 30 Days In Jail For Collecting Rainwater On His Property'
Google Maps shows 3 large reservoirs on the Crowfoot Rd. property in question.
So the rain barrel images associated with this article are highly deceptive. This guy has a huge catchment of water. At least let's be honest about what is being debated here.

if hes in trouble how come they can sell bottled water where does that come from not collecting rainwater on their own property but drilling under their land and extracting and depleting our groundwater supplies and lakes

@Slim Daddee
It's called having or leasing water rights. Those that sell bottled water have that.

@-stile- that's not right who has the authority to lease rights of the water that belongs to everyone so they can profit off of it I know I'm gonna just keep my faucet running into a giant pit I dug out back so I dont run outta water when they lease it all away to some billionaire

I found three other articles on it that had photographs attached to them. One had a hand with water dripping onto it, such as what you'd expect to see from a house rain gutter. Another had three or four barrels collecting run-off from what also appeared to be rain gutters and the other was what was posted with the story here on LL earlier. It's really enlightening to actually look into the stories that the news puts out there. Where we'd hope to get all the facts, we get just what the editor or More..

@weada They no longer control the debate! Too many outlets. I also think that people are starting to wake up to the fact that the news they offer isn't really the news.

@kiska no one, but when it falls on my property and becomes runoff its mine.

@kiska They are more concerned about that rain being absorbed into the ground and going into the water table. Things like these will mess up people who are on well water which as remote as that looks they probably are. If the water doesnt fill up the water tables underground water cant be collected into wells or move towards the streams so they are saying him saving that water is harming others because he is keeping it from naturally working its way to the river. Dumb as shit but thats the gover More..

Thank you for taking the time to find this. This image totally changes the case.
If he's interfering with the flow of ground water, the authorities have every right to act.

Good post. All of the others are misleading. Divert a stream or river and you're in a heap of trouble.

@robd216 I didn't see any stream or river in that google shot. I thought it was rain water.

@marc1921 I was looking for a river where they claimed he deverted the water but... wheres the river? I dont see any water diversion? looks to be deverting his own property rainwater if anything. And if diverting your own property rainwater is a crime...this truely is The End...

Are you speaking of the guy getting charged with hoarding rain water because he didnt have permits for the reservoirs? He did at one time, but some shit happened.

@IIVXTII lol they probably didnt realize the size of resoviors. I was thinking at most 1,000 gallons but those are man made lakes lol. Look at the sized of them compared to the houses

"At least let's be honest about what is being debated here." What the hell has honesty got to do with it when you are trying to grind an axe? I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of the "political" postings on LiveLeak are not honest representations of what is really going on.

Didn't this guy have like 175 acres? None of those look very deep, any estimates on how many gallons he was supposed to have dirverted? I haven't seen any numbers.

i have a good friend that lives in CO an it is illegal for anyone to have a rain barrels. they will fine and jail you there so the first story still has merit. However this is a good find and does make you wonder if there is more to the story. Or the ponds are not part of the equasion

That's fine but that's not the case here.
I might add he was not jailed for collecting rain water. That's what he claims but couldn't prove.
He was charged with damming a tributary within a watershed.
Very Big Difference.
