The records and computations as reviewed by the Commission are reproduced on <br />the next three pages. <br />The delivery of water in the Rio Grande at the Colorado-New Mexico State line was obtained from <br />the record of streamflow near Lobatos, Colorado; the obligations of Colorado to deliver water at the <br />State line was computed as prescribed in Article III. Item CS, the Reduction of Debits prescribed <br />in Article VI, was computed in accordance with the Rules and Regulations. <br />The delivery of water by New Mexico to Project Storage was computed from the actual streamflow <br />record and the record of operation of Elephant Butte Reservoir; the scheduled delivery was computed <br />as prescribed in the Resolution of the Commission adopted at the Tenth Annual Meeting, and published <br />in this report. Item NM4, Reduction of Debits by Evaporation, was computed in accordance with the <br />Rules and Regulations. The creation of a minimum recreation pool in Elephant Butte Reservoir was <br />initiated in December 1975 and is in accordance with a resolution adopted May 3, 1974. <br />The actual release from Project Storage during the year was measured at gaging stations below <br />Caballo Dam. The Accrued Departure from Normal Release is an under-release but is omitted in <br />accordance with a decision of the Commission at the meeting on February 15, 1968. <br /> <br />
