<br />and that diversion records of ditohes in Colorado, used by Kansas, wer~ tak-
<br />en from tabulations appearing in a Colorado report known as the "Patte'rson
<br />Plan," for operating the irrigation pool in Caddoa Reservoir, and administer-
<br />ing rights in the Arkansas River affeoted by such reservoir operations, in
<br />aocordance with the Opinion of the United States Supreme Court entered Dec-
<br />ember 6, 1943 in the case of Colorado and Kansas, after which Opinion, - all
<br />pending interstate litigation having been terminated, - this Commission came
<br />into being.
<br />
<br />6. Since the plan of reservoir operation assumed in the Kansas-"Caddoa
<br />Reservoir Studies" differs from operation plans heretofore prepnred by Colo-
<br />rado, and since the terms used and results calculated and reported by Kansas
<br />are also different, it may facilitate this discussicn to summarize oertain
<br />streamrlow and diversion records, for the study period 1908-1938 used by
<br />Kansas. Same of the basic data appearing in the following tabulation appear
<br />to have been used by Kansas. All the referenoe data are available from the
<br />eame general souroes of information outlined in the preoeding paragraph, -
<br />partioularly Colorado Exhibits 204-222, introduoed by Colorado in the above
<br />mentioned oase.
