This article of the Wyoming Statutes adopts the Bear River Compact entered into among the state of Idaho, the state of Utah, and the state of Wyoming. The major purposes of this compact are to remove the causes of present and future controversy over the distribution and use of the waters of the Bear River; to provide for efficient use of water for multiple purposes; to permit additional development of the water resources of Bear River; to promote interstate comity; to accomplish an equitable apportionment of the waters of the Bear River among the compacting states. The physical and all other conditions peculiar to the Bear River constitute the basis for this compact. No general principle or precedent with respect to any other interstate stream is intended to be established.
