Increasing Idaho's Long-Term Water Storage

Send us a text

For many years, Idahoans have been working to solve the puzzle of increasing water storage to provide for farms and city municipalities and to recharge the aquifer. The goal is to have more water storage built up to use across Idaho's water corridors.

Idaho's legislators recently passed Senate Joint Memorial 101 (SJM101) that asks federal agencies to study all options to increase long-term water capacity, including a study on the Teton Dam site.

State Senator Kevin Cook, from Idaho Falls, Idaho, takes us into SMJ101 and explains what it means, what it doesn't mean, and how people can be involved in the discussion.
