Most of the water that goes to farms in the Central Valley does not come from the Colorado river. It comes the Sierra and Owens Valley. The farm lands that would be impacted by this are in Imperial County.
Whatever trickle of water left over as it passed through imperial valley ends up in the armpit of Baja California where there is a lot of agriculture (which probably ends up in the US). I wonder how is Baja California going to react to this much needed plan for the Colorado river’s supply

This doesn't affect what the US is obligated to deliver to Mexico, so so (other than perhaps feeling slightly more confident that they will get their water) probably not much at all
Yep, you're right. Only meant to associate them in terms of why they're valued land, but yes, they're in separate riparian zones. Central valley is Sacramento/San Joaquin river delta.
