Severe drought continues to grip most of the state and has everyone at the capitol talking water. How Wyoming can protect and conserve its share of the Green and Little Snake River basins will be paramount in the coming years as downstream, the Colorado River is running dry trying to supply the water needs of a growing population in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and southern California.
Governor Mark Gordon’s Colorado River Working Group will hold its first meeting from 9am to noon on Sept. 7 in Rock Springs. The group will discuss important Colorado River matters and monitor potential impacts to Wyoming. The kickoff meeting will be open to the public and led by the Wyoming State Engineer’s Office.
The formation of the Working Group comes in response to continuing drought conditions in the Colorado, Green and Little Snake River basins, raisings concerns about the management of the Colorado River.
The working group is a continuation of a coordinated and proactive outreach effort that has been underway in Wyoming since 2019.
