Problem you have not growing in CA and AZ is the fact you have very long growing seasons in both states.

You can pump water over the same thing you can oil. You cant pump sunshine that way

I do get it, using a lot of water in a very hot and sunny place leads to amazing crop results. The only issue with that is that the water they are pumping probably took decades to accumulate to that level, that strategy will just stop working abruptly very soon.
