I've read where a lot of the water has been allowed to flow into the ocean....I don't remember why, perhaps to save some fish species...
I also listened to someone that collects rainwater for use in the southwest region. His proof-of-principle is working to date and he believes that rainwater collection should be the primary source of water and use of the Colorado and aquifers should be implemented as a backup supply.
"We can really no longer look at the past and say: The amount of water we've had in the last 100 years is what we can expect in the future," says Eric Kuhn, an author who worked on water policy for decades at the Colorado River Water Conservation District. "That is no longer true because of climate change." - NPR
