If you eliminate 100% of suburban water use you will still have a water problem. If you want a land analogy, it would be like looking at people in San Jose and saying they're the reason for a lack of farmland in California. Plentiful and subsidized year-around food is a security issue on the federal level - but when compared to other industries it brings in comparatively little for the states involved. You can't reasonably expect a few water starved states to export the majority of its water via crops while sacrificing its own economic prosperity for the sake of the broader country.
