Vho international agreement was made In responso to a general de mand that the question of water di version bo settled onco and for nil In accordance with expert opinion. The treaty makor had oxhaustivo tests conducted by hydraulic en gineers, and It was determined that diversions should not exceed 30,000 cubic feot a second on the Canadian side and 20,000 cubic feet a second on tho American side, out of a total flow of 240,000 cubic feet a second.
