In order to more fully utilize the waters allocated to the state
of Wyoming by the Yellowstone River Compact (W.S. 41-12-601),
the Colorado River Compact (W.S. 41-12-301), and the Upper
Colorado River Compact (W.S. 41-12-401), the state engineer is
hereby directed to initiate studies to plan the development of
these waters, including, but not limited to, transbasin

of the state of Wyoming. Such studies shall show the diligent
intent of the state to fully utilize all of Wyoming's compact
share of the Big Horn River and its tributaries, the Green River
and its tributaries, and other tributaries of the Colorado River
within the boundaries of the state of Wyoming.
