TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — Idaho Governor Brad Little held a water top in Boise previously today where water supervisors and state leaders talked about patterns and concerns relating to Idaho’s’ water system.
One location of enhancement pointed out was making use of available aquifers to store water.
Particularly the eastern snake plain aquifer which is where the majority of southern Idaho pulls their water from.
Jay Barlogi of the Twin Falls canal business, who spoke throughout Monday’s conference said that the water levels in the eastern snake plain aquifer are at traditionally low levels.
“They were historically low levels last year, and those levels are even lower this year,” Barlogi said. Those historic levels are extremely carefully associated to the traditionally low reach gains that are the natural circulation element of the snake river.”
Barlogi said quickly the canal business in addition to the state, will quickly go over a strategy.
“Currently we are working with the state and this month we will start the first meetings involving creating a grand water management plan for the eastern snake plain aquifer where we will identify those actions and strategies that need to be followed,” Barlogi said.
Those conferences want to develop conservation prepare for the aquifer and southern Idaho’s water as a whole.
