Wyoming Water Project

Who We Are

TU launched the Wyoming Water Project in 2001 as part of TU's Western Water Project, which works in seven states to enhance stream flows and protect fish habitat in the arid West. We partner with ranchers and landowners to restore damaged streams and watersheds, advocate for more flexible, habitat-friendly water laws, and educate the public about the need to sustain healthy rivers and streams.

What We Do

The Wyoming Water Project pursues four key strategies:

	Protect the best fish habitat Wyoming staff work to ensure that the state's best trout habitat —and the outstanding recreational opportunities they afford—are protected from development, drought, industrial impacts or other pressures. »Read more [2]
	Restore rivers and streams Over the years, important river and stream habitat in Wyoming has been dewatered and fragmented by diversions, overgrazing and development. We are partnering with individual landowners, agencies and local communities to put the pieces of our watersheds back together. »Read more [3]
	Promote habitat-friendly water policy We work with lawmakers, rural communities and water stakeholders to promote far-sighted, effective water policy that improves the health of rivers and streams while giving ranchers and landowners more flexible water rights that enhance their operations and property values. »Read more [4]
