I believe our FRiend The Next meant “THE Colorado”, as in the river.
After going through the US/Mex border, it peters out something like 8 miles from the Sea of Cortez. You can walk the riverbed all the way to the sea.

Could well be the river, rather than the state.
However, that raises another question. Just who is it that is "robbing" the Colorado?
The Upper Basin includes Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Utah, the Lower Basin includes Nevada, Arizona and California, plus Baja California and Sonora. All nine of these entities are entitled to a share of its water by riverine law.
Presumably, the governing Colorado River Compact provides that a certain amount of water actually reaches the sea. But, since the bed has been bone dry from near Yuma to the Gulf of California for years, somebody is using more than their share.
Is it California? Or is it somebody else?
