Boysen Unit, Boysen Division: Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program

摘要

The key to successful settlement and development in the West is a secure and reliable source of water. Nowhere is this more true than in the arid regions of central Wyoming where rivers which run full and fast with the spring run-off dwindle to a trickle in late summer and early fall. To ensure success in such a region, construction of storage reservoirs to trap spring floods for use in the dry months of late summer is paramount. One such development which provides multiple benefits to the citizens of central Wyoming is the Boysen Unit of the Pick- Sloan Missouri Basin Program.
