The natural flow in the Guernsey Dam to Tri-State Dam section between and including May 1 and September 30 of each year, includ- ing the contribution of Spring Creek, be and the same hereby is apportioned between Wyoming and Nebraska on the basis of twenty- five percent to Wyoming and seventy-five percent to Nebraska, with the right granted Nebraska to designate from time to time the portion of its share which shall be delivered into the Interstate, Fort Laramie, French and Mitchell Canals for use on the Nebraska lands served by these canals. The State of Nebraska, its officers, attorneys, agents and employees, and the State of Wyoming, its officers, attorneys, agents and employees, are hereby enjoined and restrained from diver- sion or use contrary to this apportionment, provided that in the appor- tionment of water in this section the flow for each day, until ascertain- able, shall be assumed to be the same as that of the preceding day, as shown by the measurements and computations for that day, and pro- vided further, that unless and until Nebraska, Wyoming and the United States agree upon a modification thereof, or upon another formula, reservoir evaporation and transportation losses in the segre- gation of natural flow and storage shall be computed in accordance with the following formula taken from United States' Exhibit 204A and the stipulation of the parties dated January 14, 1953, and filed on January 30, 1953: Reservoir evaporation losses Seminoe, Pathfinder and Alcova Reservoirs.-Evaporation will be computed daily based upon evaporation from Weather Bureau Standard 4 foot diameter Class A pan located at Pathfinder Res- ervoir. Daily evaporation will be multiplied by area of water surface of reservoir in acres and by co-efficient of 70% to reduce pan record to open water surface. Glendo and Guernsey Reservoirs.-Compute same as above except use pan evaporation at Whalen Dam. River carriage losses River carriage losses will be computed upon basis of area of river water surface as determined by aerial surveys made in 1939 and previous years and upon average monthly evaporation at Pathfinder Reservoir for the period of 1921 to 1939, inclusive, using a co-efficient of 70% to reduce pan records to open water surface. |
