That's atrocious. In your own property, no one else is going to collect it. That's different from maing huge pipes and drainage systems over the city, just collecting what would otherwise be on your driveway or patio.
It's one of those things that sounds dumb at first glance, but actually has a lot of sound reasoning behind it, read up on it more if you're interested
Help the lazy out. What's the sound reason?
People take it to the logical extreme by converting large tracts in water catching systems. Not an issue if a few do it but it usually isn't just a few. It starts depleting aquifers and rivers, causing damage to the ecosystem and communities down the way. Doesn't even need to be water scarce areas either.
How is concern about basic human right a pro-hamas propaganda now?
Hamas is only in Gaza. This is a West Bank thing where the Israeli government imposing it's own civil laws is a war crime.
That's not how this works. You don't get to just imagine AQ running a place.
The West Bank is nominally run by the Palestinian Authority. However it is occupied by the Israeli Army and Israeli settlers are using colonial age tactics to push out the Palestinians with the backing of the Army. One of those tactics is to claim an area that includes a water source and dam it.
I mean, you're right that there is an organization terrorizing West Bank. They are also terrorizing Gaza. And a lot of what they are doing serves as pro-Hamas propaganda.
So what's the reasoning for why Isreal gets to impose that policy on Palestinians?
Ah yes, ask "no, we didn't use white phosphorus" isreal
The earth collects the water where it eventually ends up back in the water table.
