Bear River Basin Water Plan
2011 Final Report

Introduction

The Bear River Basin Plan Update provides an update to the 2001 Bear River Basin Plan. The first Bear River Basin Plan was completed in 2001 and has been a low priority for updating because little demographic change has occurred within the Basin. However, because the plan was one of the first water plans conducted, it was determined that an update of the plan would be prudent. The update was conducted by a team of professionals with the Wyoming Water Development Office (WDO), the Wyoming State Engineer's Office (SEO), and the University of Wyoming, Water Resources Data System (WRDS).

This update will not totally replace the 2001 plan or the supporting technical memoranda, but will provide updated information and make recommendations for the collection of additional information and data to appropriately keep the plan current. The update will provide new and updated information for as many portions of the plan as possible.
