 Wyoming is a headwater state where water leaves in 14 different drainages. Today we're west of the Continental Divide in the Green River Basin, and the Green River Basin is a good illustration of water's importance to the economy of the state of Wyoming. In this Green River Basin alone, 330,000 acres of agricultural lands are irrigated. Basin water cools two power plants and supplies water to the world-class-sized Trona industry. Twelve towns drink its flows. It provides lots of recreation and fishing, oh, the fishing. To mention the hundreds of miles of riparian habitat and all the wildlife that the streams and agriculture support. In the headwaters, we've got water. We've got to watch out, though, because others will want it. Think about the voracious water appetites of downstream states for their agricultural, municipal, and industrial uses. Think about the legal battles of the future when they come for Wyoming's water. Meanwhile, upstream here in the headwaters, water truly is the characteristic common to all segments of Wyoming's economy.
