<br />II (4) When water is released from John Martin Reservoir appropriate. allow-
<br />ances as determined by the Administration shall be made for the intervals of time
<br />. required for such water to arrive at the points of diversion in Colorado and at

<br />users in Colorado Water District 67 as against each other - and as against all
<br />rights now 01' h~reafter decreed to water users diverting upstream from John
<br />Martin Dam on the basis of relative priorities in the same manner in whiCh-their
<br />respective priority rights were administered by Colorado before John Martin
<br />Reservoir began to operate and as though John Martin Dam had not. been con-
<br />structed. Such priority administal'tion by COlorado shall be continued until
<br />the Administration tlIlds that water is again available in the conservation pool
