The purpose is not to impede the natural water flow, as in build private dams
and resevoirs or route water from existing that is necessary for farms and
wildlife.  Problem is it can aslo go against the guy with the car dealership w
ho washes and details cars with water collected in a 2000 gallon tank on his
dealership's roof.

Imagine having a home in a scenic valley where there's a pond fed by a creek,
then come home after a week fo vacation to find the creek dried and the pond
dried up.  After following the creek's source, you find the guy who built
his vacation home upstream from you has redirected the creek to run through
his property to fill a pond or small lake.  imagine if you were to sell your
property when this ahppens, and the proerty's values tank because all the
water features that made it worth more are now gone?

Believe it or not I think Washington State has strict water laws desptie
being a Pacific northwaest state that rains all the time
