Water Use in Wyoming

The U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Use Information Program is responsible for compiling and disseminating the nation's water-use data. Water use estimates are made using uniform methods nationwide in an effort to provide reliable information concerning water use in the United States. Estimates are made using data collected from thousands of different sources and represent a major compilation effort every 5 years. Data are compiled so that they can be aggregated to the county, state, and national levels. Goals of the National Water-Use Information Program can be found at: http://water.usgs.gov/watuse/wunwup.html

The USGS has estimated and reported on the quantities of water used within the United States for a variety of purposes since 1950. More information about this effort can be found at: http://water.usgs.gov/watuse/

Fact Sheet 2006-3099 A fact sheet summarizing statewide water use in six major categories for the entire state of Wyoming during 2000 is available online at: http://pubs.water.usgs.gov/fs2006-3099/
