§ 41-11-203. Authority of commissioners; investigations.

Any commissioner appointed to serve under the provisions of any interstate water compact or in the negotiation of an interstate water compact or any other person designated by the governor to do so, shall have full authority to make any and all investigations of such interstate streams and the drainage area thereof which may become necessary in order to sufficiently advise him of the physical conditions obtaining upon such system, and of the present and future needs of the state of Wyoming, and its citizens to the use and benefits of the waters of such stream. To that end the governor or any commissioner or other person designated by the governor to conduct such investigation, shall have authority to administer oaths, examine and require the attendance of witnesses, and to perform such other duties as may be necessary to sufficiently apprise him of the facts and furnish him with adequate information in order that he may properly perform his duties as the representative of the state of Wyoming or to fully inform the designated representative of Wyoming.
