Canada could really help out here, if they can build oil pipelines all the way from Alberta to TX they can build water pipeline (dozens) from BC to California. Just the runoff into the Ocean could provide more than enough water for everyone. I figure eventually they will have to do it whether they want to or not. Climate change will force them to share their water resources unless some kind of desalination tech happens sooner than later.
About 2 decades ago NFLD wanted to tap a river that flowed into the Atlantic and pipe it into Eastern USA (Billions of gallons a day/week). The Canadian Gov said no, which was surprising since the Province is struggles with revenue and is lightly populated. For whatever reason they would rather see it flow into the Ocean.
