Description:
The Continental Divide crosses Wyoming and provides the headwaters for four major river basins in the western United States. In addition to these basins, nearly 4 percent of Wyoming's land area is in the Great Divide Basin, which is part of the Red Desert west of Rawlins. This bulletin describes water quantities available to the state, water use, interstate water rights, potential water uses, and water planning and development. Maps, charts, and stream flow illustrations are included.
