- Description:
- This report presents and appraisal of the value and possibility of utilizing offstream reservoirs as water and related land resource developments. It follows a Phase I effort that merely inventoried potential sites in the Upper Snake River Basin of Idaho upstream from Weiser, Idaho. The study reports on the assessment that was made of the availability of water for storage on offsteream reservoirs in the various drainages, allowing for extensive use of interbasin transfer of water and for pumping to sites from water sources that appear to have not been completely allocated. Likely future uses of the storage water that could be impounded in offstream reservoirs are reported on and estimates are made of the value of water in those uses under Idaho conditions now prevailing. Over 200 offstream reservoir sites were considered and a subjective screening has identified by basin thirteen of the most promising sites. Submitted to U.S. Army Engineer District, Walla Walla.
