Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 110 recognizes the critical need for ongoing efforts by water users and the Idaho Water Resource Board to enhance water management in the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA) and its connection to the Snake River. The resolution highlights the importance of the ESPA, which supports a significant amount of irrigated farmland and various communities in southern and eastern Idaho. It notes the historical decline in groundwater levels due to various factors, leading to reduced spring flows and surface water supplies, which have resulted in legal disputes and water delivery challenges.

The resolution expresses support for the 2024 Stipulated Mitigation Plan, which aims to continue groundwater conservation and managed aquifer recharge efforts, superseding a previous agreement from 2015. Additionally, it calls for the establishment of a new state-funded managed recharge goal of 350,000 acre-feet annually, revising existing water management policies to address the ongoing water supply issues and protect the economic interests of Idaho. The Legislature emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts to improve water availability and mitigate conflicts arising from water shortages.
