The author clearly address parts of that issue. He wrote that the Columbia outflows about 93% of the total amount of water into the ocean. The author discussed mainly US states usage of the rest. Washington diverts about 3% in state, Idaho diverts about 4% in state, and Oregon diverts about 0.3% It also talked about transferring a small amount to the Colorado river basin via a pipeline to help replenish that water flow, citing Lake Powell's being down over half of its capacity. Note this was written back between 2004 and 2007. So Oregon would be transferring water earlier than at the mouth. Some of the article touched on state laws, ownership, Federal role, who would implement, salmon concerns, and why Oregon should be motivated to consider this, and the potential unconstitutional law that Oregon passed to protect its water control.

In total it seemed like a very well reasoned out argument. It should be reconsidered as things have evolved since 2007.

It also mentioned that Fed had a role in acting with Canada and Mexico as both countries would have involvements.
