MLRA 46 - Northern Rocky Mountain Foothills Montana and Wyoming 52,070km2 (20,110 mi2)

Water:
Precipitation is too low for good growth of crops in some parts of the area, but in others it is adequate for grain farming and forage production. The major rivers provide most of the water for irrigation, but small streams furnish local supplies. Ground water is abundant in the fill in some valleys, but in most of the area ground water is meager or is lacking.
