Build more reservoirs to handle the flooding stages and to slowly feed the downstream (or upstream via piping). It's what they did here in Oklahoma and it's worked extraordinarily well in my opinion over the last 60 or so years where we're constantly flipping back and forth between flood/drought. It pissed the people around Canton Lake when Oklahoma City took almost their entire lake to refill Hefner, but that's what it was built for. We pipe up water from the wetter SE part of the state as well and are building another water pipeline currently to allow more flow.
