<br />RIO GRANDE COMPACT COMMISSION REPORT
<br />
<br />," !
<br />'..Of
<br />
<br />To the extent that accrued credits are impounded in
<br />reservoirs between San Marcial and Courchesne, and to the
<br />extent that accrued debits are impounded in reservoirs above
<br />San Marcial, such credits and debits shall be reduced annu-
<br />ally to compensate for evaporation losses in the proportion
<br />that such credits or debits bore to the total amount of
<br />water in such reservoirs during the year.
<br />
<br />ARTICLE VII
<br />
<br />Neither Colorado nor New Mexico shall increase the
<br />amount of water in storage in reservoirs constructed after
<br />1929 whenever there is less than 400,000 acre feet of
<br />usable water in project storage; provided, that if the
<br />actual releases of usable water from the beginning of. the
<br />calendar year following the effective date of this Compact,
<br />or from the beginning of the calendar year following actual
<br />spill, have aggregated more than an average of 790,000 acre
<br />feet per annum, the time at which such minimum stage is
<br />reached shall be adjusted to compensate for the difference
<br />between the total actual release and releases at such
<br />average rate; provided, further, that Colorado, or New
<br />Mexico, or both, may relinquish accrued credits at any time,
<br />and Texas may accept such relinquished water, and in such
<br />event the state, or states, so relinquishing shall be
<br />entitled to store water in the amount of the water so
<br />re l1nquished.
<br />
<br />ARTICLE VIII
<br />
<br />During the month of January of any year the Commis-
<br />ioner for Texas may demand of Colorado and New Mexico, and
<br />the Commissioner for New Mexico may demand of Colorado, the
<br />release of water from storage reservoirs constructed after
<br />1929 to the amount of the accrued debits of Colorado and
<br />New Mexico, respectively, and such releases shall be made
<br />by each at the greatest rate practicable under the condi-
<br />tions then prevailing, and in proportion to the total debit
<br />of each, and in amounts, limited by their accrued debits,
<br />sufficient to bring the quantity of usable water in project
<br />storage to 600,000 acre feet by March first and to maintain
<br />this quantity in storage until April thirtieth, to the end
<br />that a normal release of 790,000 acre feet may be made from
<br />project storage in that year.
<br />
<br />ARTICLE IX
<br />
<br />Colorado agrees with New Mexico that in event the
<br />United States or the State of New Mexico decides to con-
<br />struct the necessary works for diverting the waters of the
<br />San Juan River, or any of its tributaries, into the Rio
<br />Grande, Colorado hereby consents to the construction of
<br />said works and the diversion of waters from the San Juan
