Red Rock Pass, Idaho. About 14,500 years ago (radiocarbon dating, 17,400 years ago calendar, "calibrated" dating), pluvial Lake Bonneville in northern Utah reached its highest water level since its formation. [2] The lake occupied the present-day basin of the Great Salt Lake, and was far larger, covering about 32,000 square miles (83,000 km 2).

Bermensolo said she had her well examined this year, and that the water level has dropped 25 feet since it was installed in 1987. ... monitoring wells show 1-foot annual drops in the water level ...
The Snake River Aquifer is a large reservoir of groundwater underlying the Snake River Plain in the southern part of the U.S. state of Idaho. Most of the water in the aquifer comes from irrigation recharge. Measuring about 400 miles (640 km) from east to west, it is an important water source for agricultural irrigation in the Plain.
This year, the system has seen an 850,000-acre-foot increase in water flowing into the river from the aquifer, 300,000+ acre-feet in aquifer recharge, a 400-500 cubic-feet-per-second increase in ...
On Thursday evening, the Idaho Department of Water Resources issued a curtailment order that could, as soon as Monday, cut off agricultural groundwater pumping in much of Idaho’s prime farmland ...
The first power plant was built in 1902 on the falls and was acquired by the Idaho Power Company in 1916. [6] Damming the rivers became the preferred method for harnessing the abundant water of the western rivers. [7] The reservoirs could then provide year-round downstream irrigation via canals, even during traditional low water times.
The most vexing thing about this year’s massive curtailment was that if you live in eastern Idaho, you see water everywhere you look. There’s still snow in the mountains. The canals all look full.
