Resumen

This article of the Wyoming Statutes adopts the Upper Niobrara River Compact between the state of Wyoming, and the state of Nebraska. The major purposes of this compact are to provide for an equitable division or apportionment of the available surface waters supply of the upper Niobrara River basin between the states; to provide for obtaining information or groundwater and underground water flow necessary for apportioning the underground flow by supplement to this compact; to remove all causes, present and future which might lead to controversies; and to promote interstate comity. The physical and other conditions peculiar to the upper Niobrara River basin constitute the basis for this compact, and neither of the states hereby concedes that this compact establishes any general principle or precedent with respect to any other interstate stream. Either state and all others using, claiming or in any other manner asserting any right to the use of the waters of the Niobrara River basin under the authority of that state, shall be subject to the terms of this compact.
