,," 10 L'- ~..",' In determination of Hypothetical Spill and in the application of the provisions of Article vII of tte Compact, the correction for change in evapcration losses shall be taken as the difference be- tween the gross loss by evaporation from Elephant Butte Reservoir, which woulc ha~e occurred if 790,000 acre feet of usable water had been released from Project Storage each year and the corresponding losses which actually did take place. (1") ,,~ C.) Subject to review on request of any Commissioner that detailed computations be made, the correction for this change i~ evaporation losses shall be deemed to be equal to h.O" of the sum of tte accrued departures at the beginning and at the end of each year, and the correction shall be subtractive when the SUM of the accrued departures is positive. ADJUSTMENT OF RECORDS The Commission shall keep a record of the location, and descrip- tion of each gaging station and evaporation station, and, in the event of change in location of any stream gaging station for any reason, it shall ascertain the increment in flow or decrease in flow between such locations for all stages. Wherever practicable, concurrent records shall be obtained for one year before abandonment of the previous station. NEW OR INCREASED DEPLETIONS In the event any works are constructed which alter or may be ex- pected to alter the flow at any of the Index Gaging Stations mentioned in the Compact, or which may otherwise necessitate adjustments in the applIcation of the scredules set forth in the Compact, it shall be the duty of the Commissioner specifically concerned to file with the Com- missi on all available information pertaining thereto, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Compact; provided, however, that any such adjustments shall in no way increase the burden imposed upon Colorado or New Mexico under the schedules of deliveries established by the Compact. TPANSMOUNTAIN DIVERSIONS In the event any works are constructed for the delivery of waters into the drainage basin of the Rio Grande from any stream system out- side of the Rio Grande Basin, such waters shall be measured at the point of delivery into the Rio Grande Basin and proper allowances shall be made for losses in transit from such points to the Index Gaging Station on the stream with which the imported waters are cOlllingled. . -~,
