<br />scheduled delivery. The accrued debit of Colorado was 513,000
<br />acre-feet as of December 31, 1959.
<br />
<br />(b) The actual delivery of water by New Mexico, measured by the
<br />Elephant Butte Effective Supply, was 213,200 acre-feet in 1959,
<br />which was 29,200 acre-feet less than the scheduled delivery.
<br />The accrued debit of New Mexico was 497,900 acre-feet as of
<br />December 31, 1959.
<br />

<br />acre-feet in 1959, which was tol, 200 acre-feet less than the normal
<br />release defined by the Compact. The accrued departure from
<br />normal releases was an under-release of 1,415,500 acre-feet as of
