<br />The following tahulations for calendar year 1989 show records of releases of mainstream water pursuant to orders thereto. hut not diverted by the party ordering <br />the sane, and the quantity of such water delivered to Mexico in satisfaction of the Mexican Treaty or diverted by others in satisfaction of decreed rights. <br />Also shown are quantities of such rejected water delivered to Mexico in excess of treaty requlrenents and quantities delivered to storage. The quantities <br />delivered to storage were available to release for future use. <br /> <br />Water ordered but not diverted was analyzed daily for each dlverter as the positive difference between the finally approved daily order and the nean daily <br />delivery requested on the day the diversion was made. The nonthly quantities shown on the tabulations are the sum of the daily positive qu,ntities. Final <br />approval of daily orders was given in advauce of the delivery date by the anount of travel tine involved in conveying the water fron the storage point to the <br />diversion point on the nainstrean. To the extent possible. "water ordered but not diverted" was delivered to others In satisfaction of their rights. Tbe <br />quantities of such deliveries are shown on the tabulation. <br /> <br />Deliveries of water to MeKico in satisfaction of the Mexican Treaty were scheduled based on Mexico's daily orders. Releases from storage were scheduled in <br />sufficient quantities. which when added to return flows, would neet MeKico's daily orders. Deliveries of water to MeKico in satisfaction of the treaty, <br />therefore. were considered to have been nade entirely from releases from storage and fron return flows scheduled for that purpose and not fren water ordered <br />but not diverted by other Colorado River water users. Therefore, the tabulations show no "water ordered but not diverted" as being delivered to Mexico in <br />satisfaction of the treaty. <br /> <br />To date, no orders are received for diversion from the Colorado river in Nevada so no sheet is included for Nevada. The storage capacity of Lake Mead is so <br />large in relation to the present daily diversions fron the reservoir by Nevada that any "water ordered but not diverted" would be retained for future use and <br />would have no significant effect on scheduling of daily operations of the reservoIr. <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br />o <br />= <br />.... <br />~_.. <br />.... <br />rv <br />
