Forget it, unless Vegas is wiped off the map and LA becomes a lot smaller (which I would imagine a certain number of Abbey fans have been working on for a few years).
Anyway, even if it was feasible from a utilities standpoint, it would be unutterably pointless. The nature of the Colorado River is such that the topographical feature that WAS Glen Canyon is now mostly buried under silt. Sadly, and unlike Hetch Hetchy, it's gone forever.
Although it would be nice if the Colorado river was allowed to make it to the Pacific Ocean again.
