Description
This case principally concerns Fremont County, Wyoming, litigants and is mostly a contest among members of and the Midvale Irrigation District (hereafter Midvale), plaintiffs-appellants, and members of and the Riverton Valley (hereafter Riverton) and the LeClair Riverton (hereafter LeClair) Irrigation Districts, defendants-appellees. The central issue is whether, in 1917, the State of Wyoming, through the Board of Land Commissioners (hereafter the Board), with the approval of the State Engineer, validly granted Riverton and LeClair certain preferential rights to the waters of the Big Wind River. Midvale initiated this action in 1977 following a drought, in response to which, and by authority of certain agreements, another defendant-appellee, the Wyoming State Engineer, gave preferential treatment to Riverton and LeClair through his regulation of the waters of the Big Wind River. Appellants-Midvale complain that this preferential treatment redounded to their disadvantage and is contrary to law. This suit also involves the United States, which is named as a defendant below. The role which the United States plays will be discussed, infra.
