You know, the pipeline idea could be good thing as well.
Ok, say Cali imports it's water from the north east or north west. Both areas are going to see increasing rainfall due to climate change, so exporting some of that is a net benefit for them, insofar as it allows them to mitigate floods by storing excess and exporting it.
Meanwhile the dried up south west imports enough water that it relieves the strain on local water sources. Which, in conjunction with the water restrictions you mention and serious conservation efforts, begins to repair prior damage to the ecosystem.
Although, the repair issues just mean that American is going to have to put on it's grown-up panties and start acting like a mature society and not the Wild-West it used to be.
