These reservoirs include Seminoe, Pathfinder, Alcova, Glendo <br />and Guernsey Reservoirs. In addition to these main stem facilities, surface <br />water is diverted at several municipal intake structures and irrigation <br />headgates. The major irrigation headgates are those associated with the <br />Casper Canal, Interstate Canal and Fort Laramie Canal. <br />Following are the principal reservoirs in Region 1 and their approximate <br />storage capacity (LWV, 1997): <br />Reservoir Name <br />Approx.
