As long as the snow remains on his property, or where it can
feed into the watershed, it's not a problem.
Water rights & mineral rights are often separate from land
rights in the West. Many states during a drought CANNOT
legally pull more water from the rivers running through
their state, since the water legally belongs to states
downstream. Similarly, cities & towns often buy water
rights of property elsewhere - and if there's a drought, the
owner of that land legally must give the water first to the
owner of the water, and make do with the remainder. If
there's no remainder, no water.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Of course it doesn't apply to snow, that's a separate patent.
The frozen H2O has undergone a thermal conversion (insert flow chart here)
thereby transforming it into a "new machine".
And of course, melting the snow would be yet another thermal conversion, so the
resulting product, while appearing identical to the layman, is obviously another
new, patentable invention.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
