Sec. 1525. Cost of main stream water of Colorado River
To the extent that the flow of the main stream of the Colorado River
is augmented in order to make sufficient water available for release, as
determined by the Secretary pursuant to article II(b)(1) of the decree
of the Supreme Court of the United States in Arizona against California
(376 U.S. 340), to satisfy annual consumptive use of two million eight
hundred thousand acre-feet in Arizona, four million four hundred
thousand acre-feet in California, and three hundred thousand acre-feet
in Nevada, respectively, the Secretary shall make such water available
to users of main stream water in those States at the same costs (to the
extent that such costs can be made comparable through the
nonreimbursable allocation to the replenishment of the deficiencies
occasioned by satisfaction of the Mexican Treaty burden as herein
provided and financial assistance from the development fund established
by section 1543 of this title) and on the same terms as would be
applicable if main stream water were available for release in the
quantities required to supply such consumptive use.
