My betting money for "the Colorado River was the last straw" scenario is on Arizona-California, not Colorado-Arizona (provoked by whatever, Arizona starts taking more water than agreed; things escalate; plenty of room for Nevada to get dragged in because they don't want to make up the shortfall). Both states need to have a real water interest as well as ideological differences.

There are too many Californians moving to Arizona, too, which is why we need more water. We should be given the share based on how many people have moved here
