State Water Plan

The Idaho Water Resource Board is charged with the development of the Idaho Comprehensive State Water Plan. The plan includes the statewide water policy plan and associated component basin and water body plans which cover specific geographic areas of the state.



In October 2007, the Idaho Water Resource Board began reviewing the current State Water Plan for update and revision. The intent is for a revision to be complete by December 2009. Once a draft revision is completed, the Board will hold public meetings and hearings around the state to gather public comment on the proposed revisions. During this process, the Resource Inventory section of the plan will also be revised and updated by the Planning Bureau staff. The final plan adopted by the Board will be submitted to the Idaho Legislature for approval.


The subcommittee working on this project will be meeting on an irregular basis. Comments may be submitted in writing, e-mail or by fax.
