The <br />report also describes developments relating to other provisions of Minute No. <br />242. <br /> <br />The report states that the operations were in compliance with the agreement. <br />The differential for the calendar year 1987 between (1) the average salinity <br />of the waters delivered upstream of Morelos Dam and (2) the average salinity <br />of the Colorado River waters arriving at Imperial Dam was 46 ppm (U.S. count), <br />51 ppm (Mexican count). <br /> <br />In 1987, the salinity differential was again low because of the 2,949,000 <br />acre-feet of excess waters in the Colorado River at the Northerly <br />International Boundary over and above the 1,700,000 acre-feet scheduled. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />f/!::;f!;d;!ii1 ~ <br /> <br />Commissioner <br /> <br />Enclosure: <br />As Stated <br /> <br /> <br />.ra..... --- i ' <br />~/1IiJ;}' ~;L <br />iJf M.!
