The Idaho
Water Resource Board is responsible for planning for the
conservation, development, use, and management of water
resources in the state of
Idaho. Planning is
accomplished through three primary programs:
the Idaho State Water Plan; comprehensive basin planning;
and comprehensive aquifer planning.
The State Water Plan contains policies which are the
guiding framework for water resources in
Idaho. Comprehensive basin planning is a program in which
regional water resources in a specific river basin, waterway,
aquifer, or geologic areas are inventoried, assessed, and values
are protected. The
comprehensive aquifer planning program is designed to plan for
addressing future water needs and proactively avoiding conflicts
over competing water needs in the future. |
