Abstract

Pursuant to Minutes Nos. 240, 243, 245 and 252 the emergency deliveries by the United States to Mexico of a portion of the waters of the Colorado River should be made for a period of five years, which would terminate August 14, 1977. After having considered that the delay of the completion of the works would cause strict rationing of potable water, with a grave economic impact on the inhabitants, the International Boundary and Water Commission considered the need to extend for one year the period of deliveries stated in Minute No. 240.
