Concurrent records shall be kept of the flov of the Rio Grande at San Marcial, near San Acacia, and of the release from Elephant Butte Reservoir to the end that the records at these three stations may be correlated. (Note: See Resolution of the Commission at page 15). ARTICLE V If at any time it should be the unanimous finding and determina- tion of the Commission that because of changed physical conditions, or for any other reason, reliable records are not obtainable, or can- not be obtained, at any of the stream gaging stations herein refer- red to, such stations may" with the unanimous approval of the Commis- sion, be abandoned, and with such approval another station, or other stations, shall be established and nev measurements shall be substitu- ted which, in the unanimous opinion of the Commission, viII result in substantially the same results, so far as the rights and obligations to deliver vater are concerned, as would have existed if such sub~ stitution of stations and measurements had not been so made. (Note: See Resolution of the Commission at page 15). ,,:', <,., ARTICLE VI Commencing with the year following the effective date of this Compact, all credits and debits of Colorado and Nev Mexico shsll be computed for each calendar year, provided, that in a year of actual spill no annual crsdits nor annual debits shall be computed for that year. In the case of Colorado, no annual debit nor accrued debit shall sxceed 100,000 scre-feet, except as either or both may be caused b.1 holdover storage of vater in reservoirs constructed after 1937 in. the drainage basin of the Rio Grande above Lobatoll. Within the physical limitations of storage capacity in such reserVoirs, Colorado shall re- tain vater in storage at all times to the extent of its accrued debit. In the case of Nev MeXico, the accrued debit shall not exceed 200,000 acre-feet at any time, except as such debit may be caused cr.r holdover storage of vater in reservoirs constructed after 1929 in the drainage basin of the Rio Grande between Lobatos and San Marcial. Within the physical limitations of storage capacity in such reservoirs, Nev Mexico shall retain vater in storage at all times to the extent of its accrued debit. In computing the magnitude of accrued credits or debits, Nev Mexico shall not be charged with any greater debit in any
