Unless you count the Colorado River itself as a water system. :)
I would guess that almost none of the water that California gets from the Colorado falls in California. Coloradans sure feel that the down river states don't have the natural right to water that falls on their land.
- jeffbee 4y agoSure, the headwaters of this system are indisputably outside California. Still the Colorado aqueduct has a capacity of just 1.2MAF, which is less than 2% of the state water consumption. The idea that California depends largely on imported water makes little sense.
- frumper 4y agoMexico also has rights to some of that water. It is undeniably a sovereign state.
