PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Tribes were awarded water to irrigate the Riverton East Project
in Fremont County east of the city of Riverton and east of the Wind
River. The project is to irrigate about 3900 to 4000 acres of
presently unirrigated range land. The project will review the studies
done to date and will determine the feasibility of irrigating the
area by means of a sprinkler irrigation from the Wind River and/or
Little Wind River. The study will also evaluate the potential of
using alternate means to power the pumps, such as natural gas.
RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends that the project be incorporated in the New
Development Program at Level II with an appropriation of $125,000.
