One poin quickly
I don't launch my boat on a lake of oil 
And for me to even consider supporting something like that it would have to be a private sector endeavor which would mean Cal. coming up with a sh!tload of cash, something they're desperately short of lately.
If they run out of water they'll have to do what humans have been doing for centuries, migrate

Exactly, the water delivery trucks the news is interviewing are private business. That's why I was having a hard time with your posts before on it.
Strictly hypothetical though, we won't see a pipeline from here to California. I think most of it could be solved by giving more teeth to the "water cops" in some of these cities in the Mojave Desert. Water utilities are often the most regressive, yet it's probably the most important to public health. Currently that first flush of your toilet is the sound of you subsidizing large business/residential units who get a lower water/sewer rate.
Kind of like the roads and bridges in Minnesota, they just keep raising the fees for everyone else to please the Chamber of Commerce.

Our fresh water supply is in very grave danger. Here is a picture of Lake Mead last year!

This isn't going to get better until we start having serious conversations about stabilizing population growth. (Somebody had to say it.)

California's Power Plants run relatively low loads from the hours of 10PM to 5:30AM they could use this excess capacity for desalination of seawater, they’ve got a whole ocean full of water!
Problem is payback on investment, should this be a temporary drought Utilities would eat it big time.
