Agricultural Water Use: Major Diversions
|
|
|
The collection of information regarding Platte River Basin diversions included photographing selected diversion structures and tabulating Wyoming State Engineer’s Office (SEO) permit information regarding these structures. Major diversions were generally those that are permitted by the SEO to convey 50 cubic feet per second (cfs) or greater flow and were identified by a process including assessing an SEO database of basin diversion information, discussions with SEO hydrographers, and review of the 1999 Tabulation of Adjudicated Surface Water Rights of the State of Wyoming. The advice and assistance of SEO hydrographers, both in the office and in the field, was essential to the successful completion of this work. Some major diversions were not photographed, due either to private property access issues or very remote locations. Click here to view a map of the major diversions that were photographed in the Above Pathfinder subbasin. Following are diversion photographs and accompanying information for the Above Pathfinder subbasin.
