<br />correlations of streamflow and related data. Und~r the By-laws <br />of th~ Administration, these cooperative studies and activities <br />arc assigned to the Engineering Committee of the Adminis~ <br />tration. <br /> <br />(b) <br /> <br />During the year covered by this rcport, the Administration <br />has received excellent cooperation from all agencies referred <br />to in the foregoing provisions of the Compact. The Corps of <br />Engineers continucu to opentc Jonn M~lrtin Reservoir 'in ae' <br />cm.dance with the terms of the Compact and tne orders of the <br />Administration. In addition, the Corps furl1lshcd a revised <br />ctpacity table for John Martin Reservoir for use beginning <br />November I. 1962. The United States Geological Survey has <br />continued the operation of the Compact gaging stations and <br />the analyses ;lI1d c()m~'lhtion of hydrologi..-: c1ata presented in <br />this report and used in the administration of the Compact. <br /> <br />7. ~Yflll'T SUf}Ply.

The <br />varying- percentage of the flow in this channel made it difficult to main- <br />tain current stagc-discharge rclations for operation. The station should <br />be relocated or channel improvements effected as soon as bridge plans <br />of the Colorado Statc Highw3.Y Department and channel improvement <br />pLtns of the Corps of Engineers are firm. <br /> <br />No action has bcen taken on replacement of the radio stagc-report- <br />ing equipment at the two State line stations. Although this equipment <br />operated satisfactorily most of the time, it is not dependable because <br />of obsolescence and should be replaced with modern radio or telephonic <br />equipment.
