"The 1,440-mile-long Colorado River passes through parts of seven states, several Indian reservations and the Republic of Mexico. California is entitled to 4.4 million acre-feet of water annually from river. Most of that water irrigates crops in the Palo Verde, Imperial and Coachella valleys, located in the southeastern corner of the state, but the Colorado also is a vital source of water for urban southern California. Urban supplies are distributed by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California through its Colorado River Aqueduct."
Like I said why be bellicose over water rights? Just negotiate a water treaty and be done with it like civilized people would do.
Those ingrates and they don't even realize it. Of course, if Southern CA stays with the Union then they can keep the water. That is the stipulation.
Dry up and turn to dust or stay with the Union. Their choice. And if they try to take it, we'll kick their arses.
Seriously, they are stupid to even think about it. But we all know that it is a bluff.
