Wyoming residents' perceptions of changing water resources and weather variability were surveyed in June and July 2024. The survey of 500 residents proportionally represents all counties, age groups, and genders in the state, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.38 percentage points. It was designed by University of Wyoming researchers from environment and natural resources, geography, economics, and communication fields.
