All of the water gets used.

It does. Still, I believe some of what CO is entitled to is used by AZ and CA because CO has no way to store it.

The way the divy up the water is by an agreement that was made sometime in the 1930’s or 40’s. not sure which. but it was before the big cities in nevada became big. so nevada didn’t get much of a slice. for that matter neither did colorado because there wasn’t much population west of the front range. most of the water went to arizona and california. mexico has managed to negotiate a larger slice than they used to. maybe nevada and colorado have too —but I haven’t heard about it.
