The Colorado isn’t in the northern part of the state.

We’re doing a lot here in Nevada to get water from other sources alternative to the Colorado. I don’t understand why California is so NIMBY about doing the same, but that’ll probably come out during negotiations.

Northern California is affected by the water the southern part of the state gets from the Colorado river. There is less need for water from northern California.

As for what occurs during negotiations, I expect each state to plead their case as they should.

As for the NIMBY comment, I think it’s simply more stupidity from our misguided Leftist idiot state leadership.

Californians aren’t evil because they lay claim to Colorado river water. It’s on our border and we have as much right to it as anyone else it flows by.

I have advocated for southern California to build nuclear powered desalinization plants here on the forum. I did it because it was my intent to reduce the pressure on northern California’s water resources.

The Colorado river is a southern California resource.
