What about the stories like the guy who used his own equipment to divert water running the a ditch on his own property to avoid flooding his own house and then comes the government with eminent domain and destroy him with fines and endless lawyer fees trying to battle it in court until he caved and surrenders his land. Maybe I’m confusing the eminent domain part but I know this stuff happens. I’ve seen things like this, personally.

I dont think fines count as imminent domain. Usually with water rights theyll tell you to fix something and if you don't they start adding fines and eventually they will take your house.
