Bear River Ground Water Management Area

The Bear River Ground Water Management Area (GWMA) is located in southeastern Idaho in portions of Bear Lake, Caribou, and Franklin Counties. The area was designated on August 12, 2001.

The order also created the Bear River Water Management Advisory Committee. The committee completed its work in Fall 2002. And in February 2003, IWDR subsequently adopted a management plan based on the committee's recommendations.

Ground water levels in wells are measured periodically in the area. Current hydrographs of the wells can be viewed using the Online Ground Water Level Database or figures showing annually-updated hydrographs for selected wells can be viewed here.
