So lets see here. Three states border CA. OR,NV and AZ. As far as I know no water flows into CA form AZ. So here is the map of major rivers in the West.
Where are these new damns going to be built to keep water out of CA? LOL!
Divert the water through AZ. And expand crop production in eastern CO. 2-3 weeks of no water will destroy the crops in CA. Longer without power, LA will become third world. And it takes years to build power plants. CA will cave in no time.
Hey, looks like the Colorado is the southeaster border of CA so the US could claim it as theirs. And since the CA and all of the anti-military types don't have a military of its own, it will be defenseless.
Also, last time I checked, the reservoirs and dams along the Colorado are not at full capacity. Should give us enough time to divert the water and expand crop production in the rest of the states.
Or better yet, charge exorbitant prices for the water that flows downstream and into CA. $10 per gallon sounds about right.
Not naturally. But the largest water canal flows from the Colorado in AZ to the LA area.
They split and that agreement no longer is in effect and THEY GD KNOW IT.
It would result in a shooting war over that water.
