<br />001187 <br /> <br />~' <br /> <br />The following tabulations for calendar year 1986 show records of releases of <br />mainstream water pursuant to orders, therefore, but not diverted by the party <br />ordering the same, and the quantity of such water delivered to Mexico in <br />satisfaction of the Mexican Treaty or diverted by others in satisfaction of <br />decreed rights. Also shown are quantities of such rejected water delivered to <br />Nexico in excess or treaty requirements arid qUdiltities deliv.ered to ::;tcragc. <br />The quantities delivered to storage were available to release for future use. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />Water ordered but not diverted was analyzed daily for eaeh diverter as the <br />positive difference between the finally approved daily order and the mean daily <br />delivery requested on the day the diversion was made. The monthly quantities <br />shown on the tabulations are the sum of the daily positive quantities. Final <br />approval of daily orders was given in advance of the delivery date by the <br />amount of travel time involved in conveying the water from the storage point to <br />the diversion point on the mainstream. To the extent possible, "water ordered <br />but not diverted" was delivered to others in satisfaction of their rights. <br />The quantities of such deliveries are shown on the tabulation. <br /> <br />Deliveries of water to Mexico in satisfaction of the Mexican Treaty were <br />scheduled based on Mexico's daily orders. Releases from storage were scheduled <br />in sufficient quantities, which when added to return flows, would meet Mexico1s <br />daily orders. Deliveries of water to Mexico in satisfaction of the treaty, <br />therefore, were considered to have been made entirely from releases from <br />storage and from return flows scheduled for that purpose and not from water <br />ordered but not diverted by other Colorado River water users. Therefore, the <br />tabulations show no "water ordered but not diverted" as being delivered to <br />Mexico in satisfaction of the treaty. <br /> <br />To date, no orders are received for diversions from the Colorado River in <br />Nevada so no sheet is included in Nevada. The storage capacity of Lake Mead is <br />so large in relation to the present daily diversions from the reservoir by <br />Nevada that any "water ordered but not diverted" would be retained for future <br />use and would have nO significant effect on scheduling of daily operations of <br />the reservoir. <br /> <br />i{, <br /> <br />27 <br /> <br />11 <br />
