<br />The annual average salinities of the waters arriving at Imperial Dam since 1951, the first full year of
<br />deliveries to Mexico under the 1944 Water Treaty, and of the waters made available to Mexico at
<br />the Northerly International Boundary since 1958 are graphically shown on Exhibit 2, which shows
<br />the effect of operations under Minute No. 242. The interim measure adopted by the United States
<br />to effect the agreed upon salinity differential, pending completion and operation of desalting projects,
<br />consists of discharging all Wellton-Mohawk drainage waters into a bypass channel to convey them
<br />to the Santa Clara Slough on the Gulf of California, and substituting for such waters an equal volume
<br />of other waters. The quantities of Well ton-Mohawk drainage waters discharged and substituted for
<br />by other waters for the deliveries to Mexico under Minute No. 242, since it became effective on June
<br />24, 1974, are tabulated as follows:

<br />* This includes an undetermined amount of flood waters due to breaks in a bypass canal levee in
<br />the United States.
<br />* * Includes Gila River water.
<br />* * * The low flows are due to damage on the drainage canal caused by Gila River flood waters. Drainage
<br />waters entered the Gila River from 02/21/93 to 01/18/94 and were diluted by the high flows.
