Vision
We envision a Wyoming where people can develop the skills needed to seize the opportunities to
live their individual dreams; a Wyoming where people enjoy an environment free from
contaminants and secure from harm; a Wyoming where people can attain a quality standard of
living; and a Wyoming where people can enjoy the benefits of our bountiful resources and natural
beauty.
Philosophy
The Wyoming Water Development Program was founded on the sound philosophy of utilizing a
portion of the income the state receives from the development and use of its non-renewable
resources, such as coal, oil and gas, to develop and manage a renewable resource, water. One
way in which water resource management is achieved is by evaluating development and
rehabilitation strategies, and selecting the best alternatives for constructing new or rehabilitating
existing infrastructure. In this manner, the Wyoming Water Development Program will ensure the
delivery of water to Wyoming citizens in an economical and environmentally responsible manner.
Sound water planning and use will preserve Wyoming's water entitlements and will promote the
effective and efficient use of the state's water resources.
Contribution to Wyoming Quality of Life
This agency contributes to the quality of life by addressing the water resources needs of our
citizens through the construction of new water supply projects and the rehabilitation of existing
water supply projects. As a result, Wyoming's water resources are managed, developed, and
maintained for the enjoyment and beneficial use of current and future generations of Wyoming.
The Wyoming Water Development Program benefits the entire population, as well as all visitors
to the state, by providing and maintaining adequate water supplies and planning for future needs.
