JOl)5~ 1. The stream flow at the point of diversion d: the Granada Diversion Canal would be the same as at the Colorado-Kansas State line. 2. State line flow in excess of Kansas irrigation require- ments (above Garden Clit.yJ would be storable in Granada Reservoir. 3. The winter irrigation requirements in Kansas with the John Martin Reservoir in operation would be one-half of the his- toric vdnter diversions. 4. Deliveries of water above Granada Reservoir would be accomplished by exchange with the John Martin ReserVOir, that is, Kansas demands upon the John Martin Reservoir would be met by releases at the State line from the Granada Reservoir, and Colo- rado demands on the Granada Roservoir would be met by releases from the John Martin Resorvoir.
