Your knowledge of the geography of the west and the availability of resources is limited. Most of the water supply in Ca, north of LA comes from the higher elevations of central and northern ca. There are thousands of streams and several rivers that flow into the lower country. There are many farms and ranches that irrigate directly from those water sources. Everything I hear is the arrogant attitude that we who live in these areas somehow need the beehive socialist societies of the cities. No, they need the water we send them. They need the electricity that flows through the power lines that cross our farms and ranches. They need the food that we grow. We are already self sufficient. We need them to buy our products but when money has no value and deliveries are not possible then those people are no longer an asset and instantly become a threat. We will still have food water and a toilet that flushes. If anything big happens to this country, that is not localized to one area, the city people are royally screwed. They will have no water, no power, and no sewage flow. They will be out of food in 4 days and killing each other for the scraps in a week. There will be no help from the outside. Many will leave in hopes they can find food and water somewhere else. They will become refugees. As they leave the cities and enter other counties they will soon understand that the local sheriff has the responsibility to his own people, not them. The local sheriff will not allow hundreds of thousands of refugees to invade those counties and become his burden. They will either stop them from coming in or make them keep going down the road and out of their counties. The refugees will not be greeted with open arms full of food and water. The areas they pass through will be full of well armed people in defensive positions protecting what they have. If you believe anything else you have a crack habit.
If you live in any big city and have a brain in your head you will quietly make preparation for at least 30 of self sufficiency. Own and become proficient with the firearms that your local officials allow you to have. If something bad does happen stay in place, keep your head down, your mouth shut, and hope the hungry mobs done't come for what you have. I am a retired AB Ranger. I have seen this same refugee situation several times. It is about as ugly as anything people can be involved in. No one wants to see hungry thirsty people with no hope. More so than that they do not want their family to be in that same situation. Keep moving there is nothing for you here.
