Other than the Colorado River, does California depend on other states for water? If California seceded, wouldn't they retain their part of the Colorado River Compact?

Power, I'll grant you. They've been "exporting pollution" by having power plants built in other states for a while now...

Well I would imagine that deal would have to be revisited in light of a secession, no?

That's basically what my point was. Maybe they wouldn't have to, but I imagine they would.
