Governor Brad Little Celebrates Completion of Idaho Water Agreement on “Idaho Water Day”

November 25, 2024

Governor Brad Little and Lt. Governor Scott Bedke joined farmers and water users today in Idaho Falls and Twin Falls to celebrate “Idaho Water Day,” marking the completion of a new water agreement after months of negotiations. The event highlighted the successful collaboration between farmers, water users, and state officials to secure Idaho’s water future.

Governor Little praised the dedication of Idaho’s farmers, who, despite being in their busiest season, worked tirelessly to reach a compromise and ensure that the state maintains control over its water resources.

“Today’s celebration is about thanking our farmers for putting Idaho first. They came together during a time of great demand and worked to protect Idaho’s water sovereignty,” Governor Little said. “With Thanksgiving upon us, it’s important to reflect on one of this year’s greatest blessings—the completion of a new mitigation plan that protects agriculture, secures our water, and preserves Idaho’s water rights.”

The Governor also expressed appreciation for the leadership of Lt. Governor Scott Bedke, who played a key role in the negotiations.

“I am especially grateful to Lt. Governor Scott Bedke. He took on one of Idaho’s most significant policy issues and helped bring about the consensus necessary to reach this milestone. His leadership has once again proven invaluable,” Governor Little added.

Lt. Governor Bedke echoed the sentiment, highlighting the collaborative effort that made the agreement possible.

“I firmly believe there are virtually no problems, no conflicts, or disagreements that are beyond a solution. Idaho’s new, farmer-crafted water agreement is a perfect example. It is an honor to celebrate the hard work of so many key players who cooperated to develop a path forward that prioritizes the long-term health of our state and our people,” Lt. Governor Bedke said. “I am profoundly grateful to Governor Little for the opportunity to be a part of this important process.”

The new water agreement is a significant achievement for the state, ensuring a sustainable future for Idaho’s agriculture and water resources.
