Needed water resources programs in the Snake River Basin Item Info
![In April, 1983, Idaho Power Company prepared to enter into a unilateral program to provide hydrologic information on the Snake River and Snake Plain Aquifer. This effort was to be in support of litigation on the Swan Falls power right dispute. Recognizing that a unilateral approach by any entity would be less credible and more costly than a unified effort by recognized water resources organizations, the company agreed to fund a Technical Advisory Committee as Phase I of a broad technical study. [...] The purpose of the Technical Advisory Committee was to determine the scope and priority of needed hydrologic studies required to assist in planning, management, water rights administration, regulation and litigation of the Snake River system in Idaho above Swan Falls. [...] Specific tasks outlined for the Technical Advisory Committee were: (1) To evaluate the current base of hydrologic and planning data available to all water resource planners, administrators, managers or users, including river and canal flows, groundwater levels and discharges, water use and water rights. (2) To determine insufficiencies in both the data base and in knowledge of hydrologic and hydrogeologic relationships necessary to fulfill and evaluate each user's purpose. (3) To determine additional data requirements and/or analytical procedures necessary to develop common data bases and relationships usable by all entities. (4) To determine needs and scope technical studies adequate to develop common data bases, projections, and relationships usable by all entities. (5) To develop a final report. [...] The committee met eight times during the period June 29 through November 28, 1983. While the Committee attempted to arrive at a consensus in making its recommendations, this report is not a statement of position or opinion by any of the Committee members or their employers.](https://objects.lib.uidaho.edu/iwdl/small/iwdl-198326_sm.jpg)
