NRCS Idaho releases March 2025 Water Supply Outlook Report

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Idaho has released the March Water Supply Outlook Report for the 2025 Water Year. 

Streamflow, snowpack, and precipitation data for each basin can be accessed on the NRCS Idaho Snow Survey web page.

“A wet, cold February brought ample snow to the region which improved the snowpack in all basins across Idaho after a very dry January,” said Erin Whorton, Water Supply Specialist for NRCS Idaho. “Snowpack now ranges between 84 to 140% of normal on March 1.”

“Northern Idaho and the Wood and Lost basins — with the exception of the Big Wood Basin — are still experiencing drought conditions even after the wetter than normal February. Wet conditions are needed in March to pull those areas out of drought. Fortunately, the one-month outlook predicts wetter than normal conditions across Idaho in March.”
