Industrial Water Use

 
 

Industrial use of water in WyomingÆs Platte River Basin consists of approximately 75 percent groundwater use and 25 percent surface water use. The aggregate, cement and concrete production sector is the largest permitted industrial water consumer in the South Platte subbasin. The miscellaneous industry is a close second largest and is permitted to use approximately 92 percent as much as the quantity of water that the aggregate, cement and concrete production industry is permitted to use.

 

 
 


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.
