Bear River reports substantiated by Idaho Water Board
Dr. Evan Kackley says the Idaho Water Resources Board in Twin Falls substantiates private Bear River investigations. The 300,000 acre feet of non consumed water flows across the Idaho Utah border under Idaho rights and Utah would receive 45 percent under proposed division. Idaho claims all water originates there. Board contends raising Bear Lake dike by two feet would force relocation of lake shore development.
