The Natural Resources Conservation Service in Idaho has released the June Water Supply Outlook Report for the 2023 water year (WY23).
BOISE, Idaho, June 5, 2023 - The Natural Resources Conservation Service in Idaho has released the June Water Supply Outlook Report for the 2023 water year (WY23).
The above normal snowpack has yielded a good water supply year with above normal reservoir storage across Idaho. Warmer than normal temperatures during May drove rapid snowmelt last month. Many SNOTEL sites set records for the most amount of SWE loss during May. With peak snowpack greater than normal in many basins, water managers were busy during May trying to strike the balance of capturing the runoff for the irrigation season and ensuring the safety of downstream communities.
Current streamflow, snowpack, and precipitation data for Idaho can be accessed on the NRCS Idaho Snow Survey Webpage or on the interactive map.
For information on specific basins, streams, and reservoirs, please view the full report online at the Idaho Snow Survey.
