The differential for the calendar year 1985 between (1) the average <br />salinity of the waters delivered upstream of Morelos Dam and (2) the <br />average salinity of the Colorado River waters that arrive at Imperial Dam <br />was 32 ppm (U.S. count), 32 ppm (Mexican count). <br /> <br />In 1985, the t01al of the excess waters over and above the 1,700,000 acre- <br />feet scheduled deliveries to Mexico amounted to over 10,100,000 acre-feet, <br />therefore, the salinity differential was again low. <br /> <br />The report also describes developments relating to other provisions of Minute <br />No. 242. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />D.
