(f) In case of the occurrence of an extraordinary drought in one country with an abundant supply of water in the other country, water stored in the international storage reservoirs and belonging to the country enjoying such abun- dant water supply may be with- drawn, with the consent of the Commission, for the use of the country undergoing the drought. (g) Each country shall have the right to divert from the main channel of the river any amount of water, including the water belonging to the other country, for the purpose of generating hydro-electric power, provided that such diversion causes no injury to the other country and does not interfere with the in- ternational generation of power and that the quantities not re- turning directly to the river are charged against the share of the country making the diversion. The feasibility of such diversions not existing on the date this Treaty enters into force shall be determined by the Commission, which shall also determine the amount of water consumed, such water to be charged against the country making the diversion.

La factibilidad de dichas derivaciones, que no existan al entrar en vigor este Tratado, sera determinada por la Comisi6n, la que tambi6n fijara la cantidad de agua consumida que se cargari en cuenta de la participaci6n del pafs que efectde la derivaci6n. h) En el case de que cualquiera de los dos paises construya obras para derivar, hacia el cauce prin- cipal del rio Bravo (Grande) o de sus tributaries, aguas que no con- tribuyan, en la fecha en que este 1235
