WWDC - Small Water Project Program

The Wyoming Water Development Commission manages the Small Water Project Program, a competitive discretionary grant initiative designed to improve watershed condition and function. This program partners with land management agencies and sponsoring entities to provide incentives for projects that benefit wildlife, livestock, and the general environment. Eligible activities include the construction or rehabilitation of water infrastructure such as small reservoirs, wells, pipelines, springs, guzzlers, and irrigation works, as well as wetland development, solar platforms, windmills, rural community fire suppression, and recreational enhancements. Administered through state funding, the program focuses on the core topics of infrastructure, water, and conservation. While applications are generally accepted on an ongoing basis via a rolling deadline, the program status is currently closed pending the next funding cycle. Interested parties can find detailed application information through the Wyoming Water Development Commission's official notice of funding opportunity.
