The implementation of rainwater harvesting policy in the western United States has gained momentum since the early 21st century. While policies vary between the different western states, it is still not fully understood what factors have enabled rainwater harvesting practices and policies and what barriers rainwater harvesting practices and policies have faced in the western United States. The literature reviewed on rainwater harvesting practices and policies focuses on case studies from several nations worldwide that have existing rainwater harvesting practices and policies. Using insights gained from the literature on what either enables or constrains rainwater harvesting practices and policies, this research examines rainwater harvesting practices and the policy environment within the four-corner states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. The research focuses on what specifically either enabled or constrained rainwater harvesting practices and policy through a most similar case study approach. Data collection includes a newspaper analysis, policy analysis and interviews with professionals familiar with rainwater harvesting and with backgrounds in a law, academia, government and engineering. Results are compared and contrasted by state according to common themes. Results show the biggest enabler for rainwater harvesting practices and policies within the four-corner states was political culture of individuals living in those states. The most highly cited barriers were cost associated with rainwater harvesting systems and prior appropriation, the legal doctrine governing water law in these states. Recommendations as we look towards the future of rainwater harvesting include reevaluating how prior appropriation is applied to rainwater harvesting policy and recommendations for policymakers writing rainwater harvesting policies to require new construction include rainwater harvesting systems and provide cost reducing incentives such as rebates to encourage citizens to install rainwater harvesting systems.
