<br />RIO GRANDE COMPACT COMMISSION REPORT
<br />
<br />In any year in which the aggregate of accrued debits of Colorado and New Mexico
<br />exceeds the minimum unfilled capacity of project storage, such debits shall be reduced pro-
<br />portionally to an aggregate amount equal to such minimum unfilled capacity,
<br />
<br />To the extent that accrued credits are impounded in reservoirs between San Mar-
<br />cial and Courchesne, and to the extent that accrued debits are Impounded in reservoirs
<br />above San Marcial, such credits and debits shall be reduced annually to compensate for
<br />evaporation losses in the proportion that such credits or debits bore to the total amount of
<br />water in such reservoirs during the year.
<br />
<br />ARTICLE VII
<br />
<br />Neither Colorado nor New Mexico shall increase the amount of water in storage in
<br />reservoirs constructed after 1929 whenever there is less than 400,000 acre feet of usable
<br />water In project storage; provided, that if the actual releases of usable water from the begin,
<br />nlng of the calendar year following the effective date of this Compact, or from the beginning
<br />of the calendar year following actual spill, have aggregated more than an average of
<br />790,000 acre feet per annum, the time at which such minimum stage Is reached shall be
<br />adjusted to compensate for the difference between the total actual release and releases at
<br />such average rate; provided, further, that Colorado, or New Mexico, or both, may relinquish
<br />accrued credits at any time, and Texas may accept such relinquished water, and in such
<br />event the state, or states, so relinquishing shall be entitled to store water In the amount of
<br />the water so relinquished,

<br />ARTICLE VIII
<br />
<br />During the month of January of any year the Commissioner for Texas may demand
<br />of Colorado and New Mexico, and the Commissioner for New Mexico may demand of Colo-
<br />rado, the release of water from storage reservoirs constructed after 1929 to the amount of
<br />the accrued debits of Colorado and New Mexico, respectively, and such releases shall be
<br />made by each at the greatest rate practicable under the conditions then prevailing, and In
<br />proportion to the total debit of each, and In amounts, limited by their accrued debits, suffi-
<br />cient to bring the quantity of usable water In project storage to 600,000 acre feet by March
<br />first and to maintain this quantity In storage until April thirtieth, to the end that a normal
<br />release of 790,000 acre feet may be made from project storage In that year,
<br />
<br />ARTICLE IX
<br />
<br />Colorado agrees with New Mexico that in event the United States or the State of
<br />New Mexico decides to construct the necessary works for diverting the waters of the San
<br />Juan River, or any of its tributaries, into the Rio Grande, Colorado hereby consents to the '
<br />construction of said works and the diversion of waters from the San Juan River, or the tribu'
<br />taries thereof, into the Rio Grande in New Mexico, provided the present and prospective
<br />uses of water in Colorado by other diversions from the San Juan River, or Its tributaries, are
<br />protected,
<br />
<br />ARTICLE X
<br />
<br />In the event water from another drainage basin shall be imported into the Rio
<br />Grande Basin by the United States or Colorado or New Mexico, or any of them jointly, the

<br />application of the schedules,
<br />
<br />ARTICLE XI

<br />New Mexico and Texas agree that upon the effective date of this Compact all
<br />controversies between said States relative to the quantity or quality of the water of the Rio
