U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has secured language in the Water Resources and Development Act of 2024 (WRDA) to extend authorization for a University of Wyoming project aimed at expanding the network of stations monitoring snowpack and soil moisture across the plains areas of the Upper Missouri River Basin. The initiative is expected to generate critical data that will aid Wyoming and neighboring states in mitigating flooding and managing water resources more effectively.
"Access to water is life in Wyoming, and as a rancher I know firsthand how important it is to always be improving our understanding of how we can be good stewards of our natural resources," said Lummis. "I am proud the University of Wyoming is spearheading the effort to expand upon our base of knowledge and lead us into the future. Seeing Wyoming tax dollars sent to Washington come back and be spent to better our state is truly the best use and a rare departure from the usual wasteful spending in Washington."
