1. Water impounded in Caddoa Reservoir to be considered as

temporarily regulated stream flow and not as "Surplus" water.

2. Diversions by Colorado ditches below Caddoa and deliver-

ies to Kansas are to be maint,,-ined substantially and concurrently in

the ratio of 69.4 percent to Colorado ditches and 50.E percent to Kans"-s

ditches, this being the ratio of 117,900 acre feet to 52,000 acre feet.

5. So long as there is water in Caddoa Reservoir belonging to

Colorado, the same must be used to serve Colorado ditches below the reser--

voir and to meet required deliveries at the state line and net credits to

Kansas which may be the result of additional or excess diversions by

ditches abcwe Caddo a Reservoir under priorities junior to February 21,

1887 (the Amity's first priority).

4. Diversions by ditches above the reservoir under their

junior decrees, are to be permitted in their relative orders of priority

r.ithout regard to senior priorities below the reservoir 50 long as the

quantity of water in the reservoir belonging to Colorado is sufficient to

meet the daily dem&nds of decrees below the reservoir, provided, hor-ever,

that any diversions by upstream ditches under priorities junior in date

to Februar,r 21, 1887 which, under a strict admirJistration of the river

upon a priority basis would heve been required to meet demands of senior

decrees below Caddoa, shall be considered as properly chargeable to
