There are laws about collection and storage of rainwater all over the world unrelated to genocide.

I never seen them before. Too much rainwater is a problem, but not collecting it.

It's illegal for me to have rain barrels off my gutters. I wanted them to use the water for my garden. I'm not in any area with existing water shortage or drought issues either.

It can be actually. People upstream of water sources - often wealthy people with land but sometimes a collective of local farmers - build dams or retaining ponds to save the water for themselves and on a significant scale can limit the amount of water that goes downstream.
