Good luck with your no water.

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.
