The United States agreed to adopt measures between January 1 <br />and July 1, 1974 to assure that the Colorado River water <br />delivered to Mexico upstream of Morelos Dam would have an <br />annual average salinity of no more than 115 ppm * 30 ppm <br />over the annual average salinity of Colorado River waters <br />which arrive at Imperial Dam. Implementation of these <br />measures was made subject to the authorization of funds <br />by Congress. <br /> <br />
