Currently the capex to build desalination that would cover the total amount California can take from the Colorado river is around $15B - $40B
California HSR has cost around that lower estimate already with a final price tag of $100B
For a state as rich as Cali water scarcity is a choice. Various things are possible. Like restoring the water levels in the Salton Sea and reversing its increasing salination. Just go to break out of the cuck mindset that only things offered by nature are available.
