  Environmental Water Use: Water Appropriations for Fish and Wildlife  
 

Numerous water right permits have been issued by the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office (SEO) for the benefit of fish and wildlife. These permits are held not only by State and Federal agencies but also by private citizens for the purpose of maintaining fisheries and wildlife habitat. A complete listing of waters appropriated for environmental benefit was too extensive to compile. Currently there are no permits for fish and wildlife uses within the Guernsey to State Line subbasin.

The Platte River Basin Plan is a planning tool developed for the Wyoming Water Development Office. It presents estimated current and estimated future uses of water in WyomingÆs Platte River Basin. The Plan is not used to determine compliance with or administration of state law, federal law, court decrees, interstate compacts, or interstate agreements.
