"The thought process behind the law is that diverting rainwater on your own property stops the water from flowing to where it naturally would go, thus stealing the water from those who it naturally belongs to. "

So, whom does it naturally belong to? The last guy in line, obviously!
The guy one foot down the river?
The guy 1 mile down the river? The guy with a well 1 mile away?
The guy 10 miles down the river? The guy with a well 10 miles away?
