<br />, " <br /> <br />OOHJO <br /> <br />ART IeLE X <br /> <br />"If, after having satisfied the real needs of <br />the useS respectively recognized by both parties <br />as regular,. some water remains availabl" at low <br />water in crossing the frontier, it shall be divided <br />in advance between the two countries in proportion <br />to the extent of irrigable land belonging to the <br />respective immediate riparian owners, deduoting <br />the lands already irrigated." <br /> <br />An international oommission of engineers was to be set up to oarry out <br />hydrographio studies and to oarry out the oonstruotion of oertain works, as <br />well as general duties of inspeotion along the streams (Art. XVIII). <br /> <br />The final Aot of July 11, 1868, oarries the results of the engineers' pre- <br />liminary work and oontains the speoifio regime of the boundary streams to be <br />followed, desoribed in minute detail. All important diversions and diversion <br />struotures on the several rivers are desoribed and regulated. Provision is <br />made for obtaining str~ot observanoe of all regulations and the oooperation of <br />authorities on both sides of the boundary. <br /> <br />Hertslet, III, 1647; British and Foreign State Papers, LVI, 212, <br />et seq.

River Roya and Affluents - Franoe and Italy <br />December 17, 1914 <br /> <br />The Roya and its affluents oross and recross the Franco-Italian frontier <br />and at oertain places form the international boundary. A treaty with regard <br />to the utilization of the waters of this river provides that future hydro- <br />power projects in one oountry must not peroeptibly ch~nge the regime of the <br />Roya or its tributaries as it passes into the other oountry (Art. I).' <br /> <br />Where a stream forms the boundary line between the oountries, eaoh is 600- <br />knowledged to have equal rights to the hydro-power of the stream and eaoh <br />agrees not to use this right so as to prevent the other from a similar use, <br />without previous oonsent of the' other (Art. II). To faoilitate the best use <br />of the power of the main river, where it forms the boundary, the two oountries <br />agree to leave the entire use of the water, to the Frenoh bank of the stream, <br />between oertain points, and the entire use, to the Italian bank, between oer- <br />tain other points. <br /> <br />An international oommissioIl is to administer the agreement in a limited way. <br />(Art. II), <br /> <br />The following boundary treaties, in addition to those outlined above oon- <br />tain a provision at the plaoe indioated, providing for, or olearly implying, <br />the reoognition of oonsumptive uses of international waters existing at the <br /> <br />-17- <br />
