About

Mission & Vision

The Wyoming Water Association is dedicated to promoting the development, use, and management of Wyoming’s water resources for the benefit of current and future generations.

We serve as a statewide forum where diverse water users can exchange ideas, collaborate on challenges, and advocate for sustainable water policies.

Our vision is a Wyoming where all citizens and water users have access to reliable information, sound management practices, and a unified voice in water-related issues.

History

Founded in 1933, the Wyoming Water Association has served as a trusted resource for more than eight decades. Our organization began as a coalition of water users seeking a coordinated approach to managing the state’s vital and limited water supplies.

Over the years, the Association has evolved to include municipalities, agriculture, industry, conservation groups, educators, and private citizens — all united by a shared interest in Wyoming’s water future.

Learn about the history of the Association in the 70th Anniversary Commemorative Program from the 2003 Annual Meeting.
