Welcome to Wyoming Water and Climate Atlas

(Developed with funding from the Wyoming Water Development Commission)

The Water Resources Data System at the University of Wyoming, in conjunction with the Wyoming Water Development Office, has developed an online web-mapping tool to explore and deliver climate, weather, snowpack, stream flow, and State water development information. As more and more people use the web to get local, regional, and state information on Wyoming's water resource, we have taken the opportunity to make water and climate data available using customized ArcGIS Server amps. The tool in this service allows users to examine numerous aspects of Wyoming water and climate systems simultaneously for access to important sources of data and information.
