A new bid to place a measure on the ballot that would ask California voters to approve the state's secession from the U.S. has been cleared for signature gathering.
Several sources, but much of southern California’s drinking comes from the Colorado river over a 242 mile long aqueduct. If Vegas aligned with CA then it would probably be just fine.
I mean, the middle of the river is generally considered the border. All I’m pointing out here is that California isn’t really importing water if they’re getting it from a river that is at least partially part of California
A geographic point, not a political one. Yes a portion of the river is in California, no the water isn’t Californian because the spigot would get shut off the second it secedes. Being downstream means that it’s essentially imported from the upstream states
Part of the Colorado River is in California? Do they go further upstream to get water or something? I’m genuinely confused. Everything I’m looking up basically says California moves water around the state, but isn’t really “importing” it from out of state or out of the country in large quantities.
The compact is an agreement with the other states to not use it all and to let some flow into CA iirc, I could be wrong. A lot comes from NorCal but a solid percentage comes from upstream the Colorado as well
Where does it come from? I’m pretty sure most water used in California is already in California. Do they import water?

The Colorado River is in California, though? Obviously not all of it, but part of it.
At best, it forms the CA/AZ border. the water rights for the Colorado river are a hot topic among those states and should be carefully managed.
Not the Mexican states, of course, they get shafted. It’s wild how they just divert the water right at the AZ/Mexico border lol.
