Idaho Reclamationists Push Ground Water Code and Snake River Compact
Idaho reclamationists urge the state legislature to adopt a ground water code and establish a Snake River compact commission with funding.

The proposal includes a plan to study underground water sources and negotiate with Wyoming, with a likely long legislative fight before approval.
