Abstract

Surface-water records for the 1971 water year for Wyoming, including records of streamflow or reservoir storage at gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites, are given in this report. The locations of the gaging stations and partial-record stations are shown in figures 1 and 2. Records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States also are included. The records were collected and computed by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey under the direction of Robert L. Cushman, district chief. These data represent that portion of the National Water Data System collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in Wyoming.

Through September 30, 1960, the records of discharge and stage of streams and canals, and contents and stage of lakes or reservoirs, were published in an annual series of U.S. Geological Survey water-supply papers entitled "Surface Water Supply of the United States."

Beginning with the 1961 water year, surface-water records have been released by the Geological Survey in annual reports on a State-boundary basis. Distribution of these reports is limited; they are designed primarily for rapid release of data shortly after the end of the water year to meet local needs. Records of discharge and reservoir storage for 1961-65 have been published in a Geological Survey water-supply paper series entitled "Surface Water Supply of the United States 1961-65." Records of discharge and reservoir storage for 1966-70 also will be published in a Geological Survey water-supply paper series entitled "Surface Water Supply of the United States 1966-70."
