Comments on this agreement from the TFDD International Freshwater Treaties Database include:''Smaller rivers also had water allocated for irrigation: St. Mary and Milk Rivers and their tributaries (in Montana, Alberta, and Saskatchewan) are treated as a single river. During the irrigation season ( between 4/1 and 10/31), the USA gets prior appropriations of 500 cfs on the Milk River, or 75% of natural flow at that time, and Canada gets a prior appropriation of 500 cfs, or 75% of the natural flow at that time, from the St. Mary River.  Disagreements that the commission is unable to resolve are referred to an umpire, as prescribed by the Hague Convention (18th October 1907).''<ref name="TFDD Fresh"/>and regarding allocations: ''US may divert water above Niagara Falls (hydropower only) up to 20,000 cfs. UK (Canada) may divert (hydropower only) up to 36,000 cfs. Diversions set so the level of Lake Erie would not be affected. Both sides agree not to affect the natural flow of boundary rivers..''<ref name="TFDD Fresh"/>
