Projects & Studies

The State Engineer is charged with administering and overseeing all matters involving Wyoming's interstate and intrastate streams and rivers. A primary objective of the agency is to safeguard the State’s current and future water supplies by preserving Wyoming’s ability to use and develop our water allocations under our interstate compacts and court decrees.  The Interstate Streams Division provides technical and policy support for water allocation and administration issues associated with these governing compacts and decrees. The Water Planning activities of the agency are also coordinated in this Division. 

This page is dedicated to share information about current and future studies. Please contact a river basin coordinator for basin specific questions
