Idaho Water Resource Board Committee Assignments

COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS

The IWRB established several standing committees to consider actions related to IWRB programs and associated issues. Each committee provides recommendations to the IWRB when it is considering activities and actions. The Chairman of the Board appoints committee members and, with Board support, refers issues to the germane committee. New committees may be established as issues arise. Final actions are only taken by the full Board.
