Water is fast becoming a major resource problem [1]. I suppose I could
take comfort in the fact that LA has a lot of rivers to rob before
reaching the Columbia, but I don't. They need to ration their water to
the point that no one wants to come there, and a lot of residents want
to leave. Or invest in really impressive desalinizers. LA might be
able to drink the Pacific, but it would take a while.

[1] Reviews of /Quantum of Solace/ ridiculed the film for treating
water as a vital resource when it came out. I think fewer of us would
see it that way today.
