<br />;~~ (b) Excess releases from Elephant Butte Reservoir, as
<br />c~defined in (a) above, shall be added to the quantity of
<br />water actually in storage in that reservoir, and Actual
<br />Spill shall be deemed to have commenced when this sum
<br />equals the total physical capacity of that reservoir, to
<br />the level of the uncontrolled spillwa~ i.e.-2,219,000 acre-
<br />ft in 1942.
<br />
<br />(c) All water actually spilled at Elephant Butte
<br />Reservoir, or released therefrom, in excess of Project
<br />requirements, which is currently passed through Caballo
<br />Reservoir, after the time of spill, shall be considered as
<br />Actual Spill, provided that the total quantity of water
<br />then in storage in Elephant Butte Reservoir exceeds the
<br />physical capacity of that reservoir at the level of the sill
<br />of the spillway gates, i.e.-l,830,000 acre-ft in 1942.
<br />
<br />(d) Water released from Caballo Reservoir in excess
<br />of Project requirements and in excess of water currently
<br />released from Elephant Butte Reservoir, shall be deemed
<br />Usable Water released, excepting only flood water entering
<br />Caballo Reservoir from tributaries below Elephant Butte
<br />Re servo ir.
<br />
<br />DEPARTURES FROM NORMAL RELEASES Q
<br />
<br />For the purpose of computing the time of Hypothetical
<br />Spill required by Article VI and for the purpose of the
<br />adjustment set forth in Article VII, no allowance shall
<br />be made for the difference between Actual and Hypothetical
<br />Evaporation, and any under-release of usable water from
<br />Project Storage in excess of 150,000 acre-ft in any year
<br />shall be taken as equal to that amount.
<br />
<br />EVAPORATION LOSSES Li, LQ, ~
<br />
<br />The Commission shall encourage the equipping, main-
<br />tenance and operation, in cooperation with the U.S. Weather
<br />Bureau or other appropriate agency, of evaporation stations
<br />at Elephant Butte Reservoir and at or near each major
<br />reservoir in the Rio Grande Basin within Colorado cohstruc-
<br />ted after 1937 and in New Mexico constructed after 1929.
<br />The net loss by evaporation from a reservoir surface shall
<br />be taken as the difference between the actual evaporation
<br />loss and the evapo-transpiration losses whic~ Would have
<br />oCCurred naturally, prior to the construction of Such
<br />reservoir, Changes in evapo-transpiration losses along
<br />stream channels below reservoirs may be disregarded.
