WATER DISTRICTS – States findings of the Legislature and supports various water projects within Water District 2.

This concurrent resolution (SCR 119) expresses the Idaho Legislature's support for existing water projects within Water District 2, which serves agricultural, urban, and military communities across 10 counties including Boise. It specifically highlights key initiatives like the Anderson Ranch Dam Raise (adding 29,000 acre-feet of storage), Treasure Valley aquifer recharge efforts, the Mountain Home Air Force Base water project, and canal modernization in Gem and Payette Counties.
