You realize California is on the ocean, right? Desalination is a solvable engineering problem, and one that becomes more viable the worse things get. Especially if they're no longer b holden to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Desalination can provide drinking water, but you aren't going to irrigate crops with desalination.

I googled it and it looks like ~80% of their water comes from within the state, and the rest mostly comes from Colorado, and I guess those guys wouldn’t object to a water deal even in case of secession. Not sure if secession is even possible in US though.

I'd be much happier selling our water to California than to the Saudis growing alfalfa in the desert.
