'"-~..I .:,',.;-;;:, In determination of Hypothetical Spill and in the application of the provisions of Article VII of the Compact, the correction for change in evaporation losses shall be taken as the difference bet- ween the gross loss by evaporation from Elephant Butte Reservoir, which would have occurred if 790,000 acre feet of usable water had been released from Project Storage each year and the corresponding losses which actually did take place. AWUSTMENT OF RECORDS The Commission shall keep a record of the location, and des- cription of each gaging station and evaporation station, and, in the event of change in location of any stream gaging station for any reason, it shall ascertain the increment in flow or decrease in flow between such locations for all stages. ~erever practicable, con- current records shall be obtained for one year before abandonment of the previous station. NEW OR INCREASED DEPLETIONS In the event any works are constructed which alter or may be expected to alter the flow at any of the Index Gaging Stations men- tioned in the Compact, or which may otherwise necessitate adjustments in the application of the schedules set forth in the Compact, it shall be the duty of the Commissioner specifically concerned to file with the Commission all available information pertaining thereto, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Compact; provided, however, that any such adjustments shall in no way increase the burden imposed upon Colorado or New Mex- ico under the schedules of deliveries established by the Compact. TRANSMOUNTAIN DIVERSIONS In the event any works are constructed for the delivery of waters into the' drainage basin of the Rio Grande from any stream system out- side of the Rio Grande Basin, such waters shall be measured at the point of delivery into the Rio Grande Basin and proper allowances shall be made for losses in transit from such points to the Index Gaging Station on the stream with which the imported waters are comingled. QUALITY OF WATER In the event that delivery of water is made from the Closed Basin into the Rio Grande, sufficient samples of such water shall be analyzed to ascertain whether the quality thereof is within the limits established by the Compact.
