Northeast Wyoming River Basins Water Plan
Final Report
Introduction
As authorized by the Wyoming Water Development Commission in its contract scope of work,
this planning document presents current and proposed (estimated) future uses of water in
Wyoming's Northeast River Basins. Uses to be inventoried include agricultural, municipal,
industrial, environmental, and recreation. Both surface and ground water uses, as well
as overall water quality are described. Given current uses, the availability of surface
and ground water to meet future requirements is estimated. To lay the groundwork for
future water development, a review of the current institutional and legal framework facing
such projects is presented. Finally, thoughts are given to guide implementation of the water
planning process.
The intent of this summary report is to describe the planning study in sufficient detail for the
reader to gain a general understanding of the investigations that were performed and the results
of those investigations. For detailed information on a specific topic the reader is directed to the
technical memorandum prepared for that topic. References used in preparing the technical
memoranda are not repeated in this summary report. These references are presented in the
individiual technical memoranda.
