    Part of the Colorado River is in California? Do they go further upstream to get water or something? I’m genuinely confused. Everything I’m looking up basically says California moves water around the state, but isn’t really “importing” it from out of state or out of the country in large quantities.

      The compact is an agreement with the other states to not use it all and to let some flow into CA iirc, I could be wrong. A lot comes from NorCal but a solid percentage comes from upstream the Colorado as well
