The Great Lakes Compact has a giant loophole you could drive a train full of water right through.
You can export water out of the watershed in containers no larger than 5.7 gallons (~21.5 liters)
Build a short loop of rail, half in the watershed and half out of it. Drive a train in a circle continuously. When you are inside the watershed, fill up the 5.7 gallon containers (just make it a continuous waterfall that you drive through or something). When you are outside the watershed, dump them into a reservoir/pumping facility. There's nothing anybody could do about it.
