Uncommitted Colorado water <br />is 3,200,000 less i,728,000 or 1,472,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />A report by the firm of Leeds, Hill and Jewett <br />entitled NDepletion of Surface Water Supplies of Colorado <br />West of the Continental DivideH, based on the period 1930- <br />1952, states that HThe present uncommitted surplus which can <br />be relied upon for use in Colorado is thus 1,450,000 acre- <br />feet per year.H This independent study affords a rough check <br />on the results given above. <br /> <br />Should Colorado receive its full allotment of <br /> <br />3,797,000 acre-feet, the uncommitted water would amount to <br />2,069,000 acre-feet. <br /> <br />Under the most adverse conditions, the Mexican <br /> <br />Treaty miqht call for 390,000 acre-feet per year from <br />Colorado4s share of the river flow. Exp97t opinion is di- <br />vided on this subjeet, some maintaining that this liability <br />will never amount to half the quantity mentioned. <br />
