Governor Brown has already been moving us toward desalination. Drought does spur water innovation. But who knows, the eastern counties might want to stay in CA if it secedes. But I couldn't see CA forcing them in, if we insist on not being forced to stay in the USA. Also, secession does not mean that resources can't be moved between states and nations. It happens all the time. It doesn't mean no trade between CA and other states in North America. It just means government decisions by the federal government, led by the dufuses that red states impose upon us, will be superceded by our own decisions.
Slavery was a different question, to be sure. If we had let the South secede, there would still have been problems for the South with slaves running away across the border, with no Dred Scot decision or Fugitive Slave Law to stop them and return them. This friction could still have erupted into war between the USA and CSA.
