Water rights are called riparian rights. First use thing. Lawyers have had whole careers doing just one case of water rights and lived well. The Rio Grande runs through Taos NM, they can fish in it, wade it, piss in it but they can't take one drop of water out of it. The water belongs to Texas.

Colorado is dictated by law for a designated amount of runoff to other states. We never can produce more than is needed, except in very rare cases. It's those rare cases we could use additional storage. Last spring and summer our eastern Colorado farmers weren't allowed to start their pumps and could not irrigate. A bad situation for many already on shaky ground. There's no easy solution.
