History & Responsibilities
|
|
|
The Idaho Water Resource Board was created by the Idaho Legislature in 1965 following the
passage of a constitutional amendment which established the Board. There are eight
members of the Idaho Water Resource Board, appointed by the
governor, who serve four-year terms.
The Board is the agency described in Idaho's constitution to formulate
and implement a state water plan. The Board initially was created as a separate agency
with its own staff. In 1974, the Board and the existing Department of Water Administration
were combined to form the present Idaho Department of Water Resources.
There are specifically mandated Board functions and responsibilities
within IDWR. The Planning and
Technical Services Division of IDWR provides administration and staff support to the Board.
The Board and IDWR are also interrelated in areas such as court appeals, administrative rules
adoption, water bank administration,
and water right
negotiations with the Federal government and Indian Tribes. Meetings and
Minutes
of the Idaho Water Resource Board are
available.
Board programs are divided into three general categories: financial
programs, minimum
stream-flows, and comprehensive
state water planning.
