Sure, I'll try harder. My understanding of water rights is that they are based on old treaties or other agreements. Those rights don't seem to be working now.
The CA border issue I mentioned deals with the southeastern portion of it's border. CA's borders are straight as an arrow until it reaches the Mojave Valley. Then it takes the course of the Colorado as it's border. If I'm correct , and I may not be the population of California when it became a state was approx 93,000, but they had no water. So, they needed the Colorado River and they lobbied to make it the border.
Now this is just a WAG but could it be that Southern Cali is the major draw on Lake Mead?
We must have other farmland that can produce much of what is needed without depriving others of water.
But what do I know.
