Concurrent records shall be kept of the flow of the Rio Grande at San Marcial, near San Acacia, and of the release from Elephant Butte Reservoir to the end that the records at these three stations may be correlated. ~ " "; ARTICLE V If at any time it should be the unanimous finding and determination of the Commission that because of changed physical conditions, or for any other reason, reliable rec- ords are not obtainable, or cannot be obtained, at any of the stream gaging stations herein referred to, such stations may, with the unanimous approval of the Commission, be tibandoned, and -with such approval another station, or others stations, shall be established and new measurements shall be substituted which, in the unanimous opinion of the Commission, will result in substantially the same results, so far as the rights and obligations to deliver water ai"e con- cerned, as would have existed if such substitution of sta- tions and measurements had not been so made. ARTICLE VI Commencing with the year following the effective date of this Compact, all credits and debits of Colorado and, New Mexico shall be computed for each calendar year, provided, that in a year of actual spill no annual credits nor annual debits shall be computed for that year. In the case of Colorado, no annual debit nor accrued debit shall exceed 100,000 acre feet, except as either or both may be caused by holdover storage of water in reser- voirs constructed after 1937 in the drainage basin of the Rio Grande above Lobatos. Within the physical limita- tions of storage capacity in such reservoirs, Colorado shall retain water in storage at all times to the extent of its ac- crued debit. In the case of New Mexico, the accrued debit shall not exceed 200,000 acre feet at any time, except as such debit may be caused by holdover storage of water in reservoirs constructed after 1929 in the drainage basin of the Rio Grande between Lobatos and San Marcial. Within the physical limitations of storage capacity in such reservoirs, New Mexico shall retain water in storage at all times to
