Most of the states on its banks are red, incidentally
And unfortunately, much of US food agriculture will likely have to move to that part of the country in the near future, away from California as California gets less and less conducive to growing vegetables and such due to climate change and droughts ... I suppose at least a dried up river will mostly just impact food crop [i]exports[/i] rather than domestic consumption though ... and if we have less land suitable for foot crops in the future, maybe we should be exporting less anyhow
