It is derived from the <br />8.25 million acre-ft required at Lee <br />Ferry minus 0.02 million acre-ft as- <br />sumed contribution by the Paria <br />River. <br /> <br />This is the amount of water the up- <br />per Basin States must deliver at Lee <br />Ferry. It is equal to the 7.5 mil- <br />lion acre-ft Compact requirement <br />plus half the 1.5 million acre-ft <br />annual obligation to Mexico. <br /> <br />I,;. <br /> <br />4 <br />
