The basis is fixed as the delivery in the <br />River at the upper boundary (California-Mexico) of <br /> <br />800,000 acre feet per annum when the release for the <br /> <br />same year at Boulder Dam is 10 million acre feet. When <br /> <br />the release for any year from Boulder Dam varies from <br /> <br />10 million acre feet, the guaranteed delivery to Mexico <br /> <br />would also vary above or below 800,000 acre-feet in an <br /> <br />amount equal to 15 per cent of the difference between <br /> <br />the actual release and 10 million acre feet. <br /> <br />The following shows the amounts Mexico would be <br /> <br />guaranteed per annum for various releases from Boulder <br /> <br />Dam: <br /> <br />Release from Boulder <br />Dam in Acre }'eet <br /> <br />Guaranteed Delivery to <br />Mexico in Acre Feet <br /> <br />15 000 000 <br />14 500 000 <br />14 000 000 <br />13 500 000 <br />13 000 000 <br />12 500 000 <br />12 000 000 <br />11 500 000 <br />11 000 000 <br />10 500 000 <br />10 000 000 <br />9 500 000 <br />9 000 000 <br /> <br />I 550 000 <br />1 475 000 <br />1 400 000 <br />1 325 000 <br />1 250 000 <br />I 175 000 <br />I 100 000 <br />1 025 000 <br />950 000 <br />875 000 <br />800 000 <br />725 000 <br />650 000 <br /> <br />Studies show that under 1950 conditions of use in <br /> <br />the United States, releases from Boulder Dam in an aver- <br /> <br />age year, durir~ a period such as 1897 to 1940, inclusive, <br /> <br />- 29 - <br /> <br />----- ..,.....~~...-.... <br />
