You can drain a river to dust, harming everyone down stream and still be a net contributor to ground water by, say, dumping it on desert sand to grow crops.

Arizona is not in any form a net contributor to water resources as that is physically impossible unless they are fusing hydrogen and oxygen from space.

If there's no precipitation, every drop of water we have came from someone else's bucket.

Arizona is not a closed system, so why would it be impossible for water to be flowing out of the state?
