What needs to be done is to dismantle Glen Canyon Dam and put Lake Powell water into Lake Meade.

Here’s an interesting article on Lake Powell and Glen Canyon Dam. It looks like taking dam down will require taking down the 100 year old, 7 state Colorado River Compact.

Is there any water left in the river channel when it gets to Mexico?

The Bureau of Rec was required to prevent the flooding of Rainbow Bridge but it happened anyway. They do what they want. I live in a side canyon of Glen Canyon that was partially flooded. It has come back to life.

What little is left after it crosses the Mexican border is diverted into irrigation canals. The river is essentially dry by the time it reaches the Gulf of California.
Revising my answer. A dribble.
