According to the Wyoming State EngineerÆs Office (SEO) regulations, water from any well permitted for an irrigation use must be used to irrigate commercially grown crops. For this basin water plan, a major irrigation well is one that is permitted by the SEO to yield 50 gallons per minute or more. The SEO water right database was used to obtain information on major irrigation wells permitted within the Horse Creek subbasin. Wells that have been recorded by the SEO as cancelled or abandoned have been excluded from this basin water plan. Many wells permitted through the SEO for irrigation are also permitted for stock use.
