acres of state land and 8.9 million acres of federal land, dominantly BLM and U.S. Forest Service. Current Water Use Figure 2 provides and overview of water use in the WBHB (from 2000 statistics). Water use is dominated by Agricultural use, which in turn is dominated by crop irrigation, as compared to grazing and other agricultural activities. Figure 2 Overview of Water Use 2% 10% Irrigation 6% Industrial Municipal/Domestic 82% Use From Storage Agricultural The Wyoming State Engineer’s Office (SEO) records for Water Division No. III show some 450,000 acres of land historically irrigated in the WBHB. Of this total, approximately 344,000 acres are reported as irrigated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Irrigated lands mapping, completed as part of this study, found some 560,000 acres of irrigated or potentially irrigated lands, based on 1999 aerial color infrared mapping. Water rights attribution associated with the irrigated lands mapping indicated about 600,000 acres with water rights at the time of the investigation. Finally, the proposed tribal futures projects could add approximately 53,000 Executive Summary -4
acres. Given these variations, surface water use and availability was modeled to consider Historical Diversions (~450,000 acres irrigated), Full Supply (~600,000 acres irrigated), and Full Supply with Futures (~653,000 acres irrigated). Crop Irrigation Requirements (CIR) were determined based on crop type and climatic location within the WBHB. Typical crops include: alfalfa, beans, corn, other hay crops, spring grains, sugar beets, and other minor crops. Based on the CIR evaluation, the Full Supply consumptive use was estimated to be 1,165,000 acre feet per year (approximately 1.94 acre feet per acre per year). Figure 3 depicts the Irrigated Lands in the WBHB. Executive Summary -5
