WATER-RESOURCES ACTIVITIES OF THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY IN WYOMING,
FISCAL YEARS 1986 AND 1987

Compiled by Sharon L. Green and Joel R. Schuetz

ABSTRACT

This report describes the two types of water-resources
activities of the Wyoming District: collection of hydrologic data,
and water-resources-appraisal projects. Much of the work is done in
cooperation with other agencies; during fiscal year 1986 and 1987
cooperators included eight State agencies, two counties, one
muncipality, and seven Federal agencies. This report serves both as a
biennial progress report to the cooperating agencies and the general
public, and as one means of coordination of water-resources activities
with other agencies.

Lists and location maps are included for 162 streamflow
stations, 15 reservoir stations, 107 surface-water-quality stations,
24 sediment stations, and 89 ground-water-observation wells, all of
which were in operation at the beginning of water year 1987. During
fiscal years 1985 and 1986, 12 streamflow stations, 39 surface-water-
quality stations, six sediment stations, and five ground-water-
observation wells were discontinued.

Descriptions, location maps, and progress statements are given
for four data-collection projects and 23 water-resources-appraisal
projects that were active (funded) during fiscal year 1986 and (or)
fiscal year 1987. Also included are a list of nine projects for which
funding ended prior to 1986 and that are completed except for the
final report(s), and a list of four new projects that will be funded
during flscal year 1987. The final section of the report is a
bibliographic listing of reports about the water resources of Wyoming,
prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey authors.
