Nor- <br />mal releases from project storage are fixed by the Com- <br />pact at 790,000 acre-feet per year. In February of each <br />year the Commission holds its annual meeting, at which <br />time records of deliveries and releases for the previous <br />year are reviewed and adopted as official. The records <br />adopted by the Commission for 1941 are shown on the fol- <br />lowing three pages. <br /> <br />I . Deliveries by Colorado at the Colorado-New Mexico <br />state line produced an annual credit for 1941 of 146,300 <br />acre-feet after adjustments provided for in the Compact <br />were made. From this credit the accrued debit of 19,300 <br />acre-feet carried over from 1940 is deducted with the re- <br />sulting accrued credit at the end of 1941 of 127,000 <br />acre-feet. <br /> <br />Deliveries by New Mexico at San Marcial resulted in <br />an annual credit of 108,300 acre-feet after adjustments <br />provided for in the Compact were made. The accrued <br />debit of 58,900 acre-feet is deducted from the annual <br />credit to produce an accrued credit at the end of 1941 of <br />49,400 acre-feet. . <br /> <br />The annual departure from normal release of water <br />from project storage for 1941 was 82,600 acre-feet after <br />adjustments were made for evaporation. The accrued de- <br />parture from normal release at the end of 1940 of 55,500 <br />acre-feet added to the annual departure of 1941, resulted <br />in an accrued departure at the end of 1941 of 138,100 <br />acre-feet less than the average allowed by the Compact. <br /> <br />Cooperation in supplying data necessary to making <br />required adjustments to the schedules of deliveries and re- <br />leases has been received from the Soil Conservation Serv- <br />ice, Agricultural Adjustment Administration,' Forest Serv- <br />ice, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Grazing Service, <br />United Pueblos Agency, Weather Bureau, State Engineer, <br />and the Special Deputy State Engineer of Colorado at <br />Monte Vista. The Rio Grande Compact Commission wish- <br />es to acknowledge this cooperation. . <br /> <br />, I <br />Ii <br /> <br />21 <br />
