Wyoming State Geological Survey -- Greater Green River Basin





Greater Green River Basin


In 2007, the Wyoming Water and Development Commission funded the Green River Basin groundwater project in order to update the 2001 Green River Water Plan (States West Water Resources Corporation, 2001). The project was conducted by personnel at the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) in Laramie, the United State Geological Survey (USGS), Wyoming Water Science Center in Cheyenne, and the Water Resources Data System (WRDS) in Laramie.

This study updates, revises, and expands the groundwater report contained in the 2001 Green River Basin Water Plan as the Available Groundwater Determination Technical Memorandum., data May 4, 2001 (Hahn and Jessen, 2001). A downloadable file containing the Hahn and Jessen and this memorandum is available online at the WWDC web site under River Basin Planning.
