Don't know about the lawyers, but there be a s***pot load of farmers that won't allow right of way through Calexico or El Centro even though there is an existing irrigation drainage ditch. Everything else is Federal through the desert but has endangered.

I think the key would be a hybrid approach if the “channel “ were big enough for ocean going vessels then you need a lock and dam to keep things from flooding over
If you don’t want that you size the channel just large enough to have enough flow maintain a specific water level and likely much less interference with land owners
The boring concept would theoretically affect no one negatively but you would still get lots of lawsuits unless the federal government steps in and throws weight around removing rights by streamlining everyone’s lawsuit into a funnel.
It’s not like the fed hasn’t imposed its authority before, just hasn’t done it recently
