One possible item. if you have rain, and the rain is of sufficient power to overflow your property and joins other rain running into a stream or wash, then you would be regulated under that statement. So anyone in a flood plain might be considered needing a permit for their water regardless of how they normally get it or periodically use it (pool, grass, treets, etc). I know that when it rains in phoenix, the water from the rain runs into rivers that are considered navagatable waterways.
