Wyoming Water Law: A Summary
Summary
In Wyoming a valid right to the use of water may be
acquired only by following the procedures established by
state law for both surface and ground water.
Water users should be sure of the status of their water
rights. Check the records in the county clerk's office, or
through the state engineer's office. The records indicate
the appropriation amount, priority of the right, and how
and where the water is to be used. If there are any questions,
check with the state engineer's office and request
complete information on the status of the water right in
question.
