The Wyoming Water Development Commission (WWDC) in Cheyenne, WY, was established in 1975 to oversee the optimal development of the state's water resources for various sectors, including human, industrial, agricultural, and recreational needs. The WWDC, administered by the Wyoming Water Development Office (WWDO), is responsible for planning, financing, and executing projects related to water conservation, storage, transmission, and usage in the public interest.
Comprising 10 members appointed by the governor to represent state water divisions and the Wind River Reservation, the WWDC recommends the Wyoming Water Development Program to the Legislature, funded through severance tax distributions. With a staff of 25 professionals, the WWDO plays a crucial role in managing water-related projects, including municipal pipeline construction, groundwater grant projects, and dam and reservoir planning, to ensure the sustainable development and preservation of Wyoming's water resources.
