"Water is for Washing" is a science fiction short story by American writer Robert A. Heinlein, first published in Argosy. It is based on the premise that an earthquake had catastrophically shattered the range of alluvial deposits separating the Imperial Valley from the Gulf of California, precipitating a tsunami moving north to transiently drown these lowlands.
