LA gets much of it's water from the Colorado if they lose that water source or see BIG cut backs it's going to mean some drastic changes will be needed to maintain the situation there. The entire west is experiencing an historic drought and even if this winter is a wet one it will take years of such winters to recharge the water shed out there.

Yes, big big problems out west with water. I'm watching these articles appear with an interest in seeing how the water shortage is managed. The state of our world as climate change impacts all of us is in flux, as we know, and it rears up in different places in different ways.
