Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 110 recognizes the critical need for ongoing efforts by water users and the Idaho Water Resource Board to enhance water reach gains in the Snake River between Blackfoot and the Minidoka Dam. The resolution expresses support for the 2024 Stipulated Mitigation Plan, which was established between the Surface Water Coalition and participating groundwater districts to continue groundwater conservation and managed aquifer recharge activities. The Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA) is vital for supplying groundwater to a significant portion of Idaho's irrigated farmland and communities, but it has faced declining water levels due to various factors, leading to increased water-related conflicts and litigation.

The resolution further calls for the establishment of a state-funded managed recharge goal for the ESPA, increasing the target from 250,000 acre-feet to 350,000 acre-feet annually. This adjustment aims to improve groundwater levels, protect existing water rights, and mitigate economic harm resulting from water shortages. The Legislature emphasizes the importance of revising State Water Plan policies and the ESPA Comprehensive Aquifer Management Plan to support these initiatives, thereby ensuring sustainable water resources for Idaho's agricultural and economic needs.
