RIO GRANDE COMPACT COMMISSION REPORT

52

ERRATA

The minutes of the Sixth Annual (Sixteen) Meeting of the Rio Grande
Compact Commission state in part:

"--factual data used in the compilation
of reports of the Commission which factual
data had been revised and published by the
U. S. G. S. ----subsequent to use by the
Compact Commission in computing debits
and credits should be published in succeeding
reports of the Commission together with
proper explanatory notes. "

The Rio Grande Compact provides that the Annual Report of the
Commission for each calendar year shall be transmitted to the Governors
of the signatory states before March first of the following year. Although
every effort is made to furnish correct data to the commission for use in
their report, the limited time available to the collecting agency does not
permit a thorough analysis of the data and they are necessarily subject to
revision.

The Commission bases all computations of debits and credits on
volumes in thousands of acre-feet, expressed to the nearest hundred. A
check was made of all records published in these annual reports against
those published by the U. S. G. S. and it was found that in most instances
the changes were not of sufficient magnitude to affect the computations of
debits and credits; other changes were of items not used by the Commission;
but whenever a corrected value affected the computations of credits or
debits, such revisions have been published. The effect of changes or
revisions on the credits, debits or departures from normal release have
been adjusted from time to time by appropriate correction entries.

The figures shown below are the corrected values of runoff in acre-
feet for the period indicated.
