Reclamation is attempting to bring such uses into compliance with the law. <br />Concurrent with this effort, Reclamation is engaged in developing formalized rules for the <br />administration of entitlements to the Colorado River in the Lower Basin. Reclamation <br />believes the codification of such rules will eliminate unauthorized uses which cannot be <br />legitimized and provide the framework to take action against identified unauthorized users. <br />Reclamation expects final rules to be published by January 1995. <br /> <br />1944 Mexican Water Treaty <br /> <br />Pursuant to the 1944 Mexican Water Treaty (Treaty Series 994, 59 Stat. 1219) it has been <br />determined that the guaranteed quantity of 1.5 MAP of water will be delivered to Mexico <br />during calendar year 1993. The delivery of 1.5 MAF of water to Mexico will be in <br />accordance with Article 15 of the 1944 Mexican Water Treaty and Minute No. 242 of the <br />IBWC. Minute No. 242 provides that the United States may deliver up to .14 MAF of water <br />across the land boundary at San Luis, Sonora, and in the limitrophe section of the Colorado <br />River downstream of Morelos Dam, in partial satisfaction of the 1944 Mexican Water <br />Treaty. Calendar year schedules of monthly deliveries of Colorado River water are <br />formulated by the Mexican Section of the IBWC and presented to the United States Section <br />before the beginning of each calendar year. Additional scheduled deliveries of water to <br />Mexico can only be made if waters of the Colorado River exist in excess of the amount <br />necessary to satisfy all uses within the United States. <br />
