The thing is, these would be (very hypothetically) <i>states</i>, not sovereign countries, so they would have to obey contract law. So all the water rights held by the folks on the west side would still apply. And the urban (richer) states would be able to pay more that the ag states for future rights, so the free market would cause problems for farmers, unless the ag states decided to pass state laws forbidding selling rights to the urban states (there's your free market at work).

That guy sounds just like every teen-aged newlywed couple, "We don't need a plan, <strike>true love</strike> the free market can make it through anything!"
