They don't anymore bc Trump scrapped that. Obama instituted it by expanding the clean water act to cover "isolated wetlands, ponds, and ditches".

Taking water out of ditches or the other types of places mentioned is not "rain-water harvesting."

If you dig a ditch specifically to be filled with rain water, then in what sense is taking rainwater from that ditch not harvesting rainwater?

Is it no longer rainwater if it touches a ditch? Maybe it's no longer rainwater if it touches a barrel. "Haha no States have laws against harvesting rainwater, only barrel water, you fools!"
