No north as is Colorado River. About 1/3 Southern California water supply comes from Colorado River Aqueduct. Northern Cali might not be as reliant on Colorado.

SF water comes from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir near Yosemite.

Northern Cal doesn't use any Colorado Basin water.
Southern Cal gets its water from Owens Valley via the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Colorado River via the Colorado River Aqueduct and the All-American Canal.
California withdrawals about 4.4 million acre feet (1.4 trillion gallons) from the Colorado River Annually.
