Unironically they have the ability to just build loads of desal plants like Saudi Arabia, which alone produces 5% of the Colorado river's freshwater flow rate.
the US has 30x the GDP of Saudi Arabia, and it would require only 20x the desal to completely replace the entire Colorado river (which isn't even needed) so all this means is that the US cares much less for its citizens than Saudi Arabia
