Across much of the state, Water Year 2026 has been one for the record books. Some parts of the state saw one of the wettest years on record, some saw the lowest snowpack and all saw record-setting temperatures. The snow drought across this year raised urgent questions about what happened, what it means for the year ahead and what it signals for our longer-term water future. These themes will permeate many sessions and talks from both the operations and research sides across the 2026 Idaho Fall Water Summit.
Led by the Idaho Department of Water Resources and Boise State University in collaboration with additional state and regional partners, this meeting builds on the previously held Idaho Fall Water Supply Meeting and will provide a recap of the water supply from the previous water year and provide climate and water supply outlook information for the coming water year.
