<br />
<br />The 38th annual meeting of the Rio Grande Compact Commission was held
<br />at Santa Fe, New Mexico, on March 24, 1977.
<br />
<br />The Commission reviewed its prior reports and the current reports of
<br />the Secretary relative to streamflow at Compact gaging stations and storage
<br />in reservoirs. The Commission found that:
<br />
<br />(a)
<br />
<br />Deliveries of water at the COlorado-New Mexico State line by Colorado
<br />amounted to 249,000 acre-feet, which was 10,000 acre-feet in excess
<br />of the scheduled delivery in 1976. The accrued debit for Colorado
<br />was reduced to 715,200 acre-feet as of December 31, 1976. However,
<br />in light of the, as yet unresolved, controversy between the States,
<br />Colorado cannot agree with the conclusions as to her indebtedness.
<br />
<br />(b) Deliveries of water into Elephant Butte Reservoir by New Mexico, as
<br />measured by the Elephant Butte Effective SUpply, amounted to 378,900
<br />acre-feet, which was 16,400 acre-feet less than the scheduled delivery
<br />in 1976. The accrued credit of New Mexico was 46,100 acre-feet as of
<br />December 31, 1976.
<br />
<br />(c) Releases of usable water in 1976 from Project Storage amOunted to
<br />680,500 acre-feet.
