<br />CHANGING GAGING STATIONS AND MEASUREMENTS OF
<br />DELIVERIES BY NEW MEXICO
<br />
<br />RESOLUTION
<br />
<br />Whereas, at the Annual Meeting of the Rio Grande,Compact Commission in'the
<br />year 1945, the question was raised as to whether or not a schedule for delivery of water by
<br />New Mexico during the entire year could be worked out, and
<br />
<br />Wh13reas, at said meeting the question was referred to the Engineering Advisers
<br />for their study, recommendations and report, and
<br />
<br />Whereas, said Engineering Advisers have met, studied the problems and under
<br />date of February 24, 1947, did submit their Report, which said Report contains the findings
<br />of said Engineering Advisers and their recommendations, and
<br />
<br />Whereas, the Compact Commission has examined said Report and finds that the
<br />matters and things therein found and recommended are proper and within the terms of the
<br />Rio Grande Compact, and
<br />
<br />Whereas, the Commission has considered said Engineering Advisers' Report and
<br />all availabl,e evidence, information and material and is fully advised:
<br />
<br />Now, Therefore; Be it Resolved:
<br />
<br />u
<br />
<br />. The Commission finds as follows:
<br />
<br />(a) That because of change of physical conditions, reliable records of the amount.
<br />. . . of water passing San Marcial are no longer obtainable at the .stream gaging
<br />statio.n,at San Marcial and that the same should be abandoned for Compact
<br />purposes. '. . . . .
<br />
<br />'(br Thatthe need for'concurrent records at San Marcial and San Acacia no longer
<br />, . . : exists-and that the gaging station at San Acacia should be abandoned for
<br />'. C,omp~ct p~rposes:
<br />
<br />(c) That it is desirable and necessary that the obligations of New Mexico under the
<br />Compact to deliver water in the months of July, August, September, should be '
<br />scheduled.
<br />
<br />(d) That the change in gaging stations and substitution of the new measurements
<br />as hereinafter set forth will result in substantially the same results so far as the
<br />rights and obligations to deliver water are concerned, and would .have existed
<br />if such substitution of stations and measurements had riot been so made.
<br />
<br />Be it Further Resolved:
<br />
<br />That the following measurements and schedule ther13qfshall ,be substituted .for.
<br />the measurements and schedule thereof as now setforth In Article IV of the' '
<br />Compact:
<br />
<br />"The obligation of New Mexico to deliver water in the Rio Grande into Elephant
<br />Butte Reservoir during each calendar year shall be measured by that quantity
<br />set forth in the following tabulation of relationship which corresponds to the
<br />quantity at the upper index station:
