UW Department of Renewable Resources coordinates range, forest, watershed, entomology and soil scientists into
one integrated department. The department was organized in this
fashion to best address the research, teaching and extension needs
characteristic of the western U.S. The department's research increasingly tackles the information gaps which are at the
frontiers of science which lie in the connection between disciplines. Its extension programs offer integrated options that are needed to face real-world
problems which often are not separated along scientific disciplinary boundaries.
UW Cooperative Extension Drought Page has links to topics and organizations involved in issues such as animal feeding operations, crop production, horticultural issues, livestock production, and wildfire information
UW Water Resource Data Center is a clearinghouse of hydrological and climatological data for the State of Wyoming. Funded from an allocation from the Wyoming Water Development Commission, the System offers a wide range of products and services to its users.
NRCS National Water and Climate Center's mission is to lead the development and transfer of water and climate information and technology which support natural resource conservation. Its vision for the future is to be recognized as a global source for a top quality spatial snow, water, climate, and hydrologic network of information and technology.
UW Water Research Program is located at the
University of Wyoming and oversees the coordination of Wyoming's participation in
the NIWR program. The primary purposes of the program are to support and
coordinate research relative to important water resources problems of the State
and Region, support the training of scientists in relevant water resource
fields, and promote the dissemination and application of the results of
water-related research.
Wyoming State Water Plan follows the 1996 Legislature directive to the Wyoming Water Development Commission (WWDC)
and the State Engineer's Office (SEO) to prepare recommendations for updating
the 1973 Wyoming Framework Water Plan. The two agencies submitted a joint
recommendation to the Governor, the Select Water Committee, and the Water
Development Commission on October 1, 1996.
