Vacant storage space in mainstem reservoirs is substantially greater than that <br />required by flood control regulations. Therefore, a volume of 1.850 MCM (1.5 MAP) of <br />water will be scheduled for delivery to Mexico during calendar year 1997 in accordance with <br />Article 15 of the 1944 Mexican Water Treaty and Minute No. 242 of the International <br />Bound8l}' and Wllter Commission. Minute No. 242 provides that the United States may <br />deliver up to 173 MCM (.140 MAP) of water across the land bound8l}' at San Luis, Sonora, <br />and in the lirnitrophe section of the Colorado River downstream of Morel os Dam, in partial <br />satisfaction of the 1944 Mexican Water Treaty. Calendar year schedules of monthly <br />deliveries of Colorado River water are formulated by the Mexican Section of the mwc and <br />presented to the United States Section before the beginning of each calendar year. <br />Additional scheduled deliveries to Mexico can be made only if there exists Colorado River <br />water in excess of that necessary to satisfY the requirements in the United States and the <br />guaranteed quantity of 1,850 MCM (1.500 MAP) annually to Mexico. <br /> <br />17 <br />
