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 decline in groundwater levels and surface water supplies due to historical water management practices, leading to increased water-related conflicts and the necessity for a collaborative approach to address these 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 better protect water rights and mitigate economic impacts from water shortages. The Legislature emphasizes the importance of these actions to ensure sustainable water resources for the region's agricultural and economic needs.
