Abstract:

This data publication contains the results of a survey to obtain opinions and attitudes toward water resource management in the Wind River/Bighorn River Basin in Montana and Wyoming. A mail-back survey, administered between March and May of 2016, went to a random sample of mailing addresses in the Wind River/Bighorn River Basin. Adult household heads were asked to complete the survey. The survey included questions about benefits related to water importance, factors threatening the water, opinions on the natural resources in the basin, perception on water management outcomes, and personal information.
