The biggest issue with water in California is supplying irrigation for the farms in the Imperial and Central valleys, which supply a substantial amount of food consumed in the United States. The water isn't taken from Lake Mead, it is taken in part from the Colorado River, which borders the Imperial Valley, and from the rainfall and snow melt of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I would question whether those north have any more rights to the water that those in the south, it just gets to them first.
So I don't think water greedy people in San Diego and the LA basin are the main problem, although it would certainly be nice if they conserved more.
