<br />sea level. The flood control storage will be operated for flood control
<br />purposes and to those ends will impound or regulate the streamflow
<br />volumes that are in excess of the then available storage capacity of the
<br />conservation pool. Releases from the flood control storage may be made
<br />at times and rates determined by the Corps of Engineers to be necessary
<br />or advisable without regard to ditch diversion capacities or requirements
<br />in either or both States.
<br />
<br />(3) The conservation pool will be operated for the benefit of
<br />. water users in Colorado and Kansas, both upstream and -dpwnstream from
<br />John Martin Dam, as provided in this Compact. The maintenance of John
<br />Martin Dam and appurtenant works may at times require the Corps of
<br />Engineers to release waters then impounded in the conservation pool or
<br />to prohibit the storage of water therein until such maintenance work is
<br />completed. Flood control operation may -also involve temporary utilization
<br />of conservation storage.
<br />
<br />D. This Compact is not intended to impede or prevent future bene.
<br />ficial development of the Arkansas River basin in Colorado and Kansas
<br />by Federal or State agencies, by.private enterprise, or by combinations
<br />thereof, which may involve construction of dams, reservoirs and other
<br />works for the purposes of water utili~ation and control, as well as the
<br />improved or prolonged functioning of existing works: Provided, that the
<br />waters of the Arkansas River, as .defined in Article III, shall not be
<br />materially depleted in usable quantity or availability for use to the water
<br />US~S in Colorado and Kansas under this Compact by such future develop'
<br />ment or construction. '
<br />
<br />ARTICLE V
<br />
<br />Colorado and Kansas hereby agree upon the following basis of

<br />November 1st of each year and continue to and include the neXt succeed,
<br />ing March 31st. During said period all water entering said reservoir up
<br />to the limit of the then available conservation capacity shall be stored: .
<br />Provided, that Colorado may demand releases of water equivalent to the
<br />river flow, but such releases shall not exceed 100 c.f.s. (cubic feet per
<br />second) and water so released shall be used without avoidable waste.
<br />
<br />B. Summer storage in John Martin Re~ervoir shall commence on
<br />April 1st of each year and continue.to and include the next succeeding
<br />October 31st. During said period, except when. Colorado water users
<br />are operating under decreed priorities as provided in paragraphs F and G
<br />of this Article. all water entering said reservoir up to the limit of the
<br />then available conservation capacity shall be stored: Provided, that
<br />Colorado may demand releases of water equivalent to the river flow up
<br />to 500 cJ.s., and Kansas may demand releases of water equivalent to that
<br />portion of the river flow between 500 cJ.s. and 750 c.f.s., irrespective
<br />of releases demanded by Colorado.
