California has the largest source of water - Pacific ocean !!! . . . why aren't they building desalination plants, utilizing all the "green energy" to power the plants and then pump the fresh water east ??? . . . reduce the draw on the Colorado watershed and let the lakes recover to some degree ??? . . . then be able to continue generating power from the dams . . .

In Israel, they knew they HAD to build the desalination plants in order to live !! . . . sure it costs $$$, but certainly better than having NO water . . . or water rationing . . .

Just my 2cents worth . . .
