That misses the entire point. Desalination plants would work during droughts to help alleviate them. Tapping into rivers that are having low flow years (poor snow pack, low precipitation) and reducing these rivers natural flow rates as they have already done with the Colorado has bad consequences. My suggestion is to tap the literally unlimited water resource along their huge coastline.
Here's an interesting presentation on the Colorado River, its not the one I had seen previously, but both showed what has happened to it, it no longer reaches the Sea of Cortez.
