So the average flow of the Colorado river is usually 12-15 million acre feet per year. It is now flowing at an average rate of 2.8 million acre feet per year. The biggest desalination plant in the world is in Saudi Arabia and produces 306,730 acre feet of fresh water a year. No way this technology can be used to reproduce/top up a river of any size. The energy draw of these plants are huge, the cost and the environmental impact of the massive amounts of brine they produce are all expensive.
