State water rights upheld by Idaho Supreme Court ruling
The Idaho Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the 1951 ground water law governing use of state waters is constitutional. The case stems from a 1964 River Valley well drilled by a private owner who initially obtained a pit from the state reclamation engineer and later faced pumping restrictions, prompting a suit over state authority to regulate groundwater use.
