Water District 170 is an umbrella water district that provides oversight of established sub-districts within the Upper Salmon River Basins 71 thru 75 and is located within Lemhi, Custer and Blaine Counties. Water District 170, Upper Salmon River Basin, includes all surface and ground water rights in Administrative Basins 71, 72, 73, 74, and 75, except domestic and stockwater rights as defined by Idaho Code §§ 42-111 & 42-1401(A)(11), and rights used for in-stream watering of livestock as defined by Idaho Code §42-113.

A large water district is necessary in the Upper Salmon area to effectively administer water rights that have are licensed by IDWR or are partially decreed by the Snake River Basin Adjudication court. This multibasin district is necessary to ensure proper administration of complex, large-scale water rights and associated agreements such as the Water Rights Consent Decree with the Nez Perce Tribe and the Water Rights Agreement for Wild and Scenic Riverways (see SRBA General Provisions). Although IDWR typically creates water districts following an adjudication, the timing and structure of the Upper Salmon Water District follows largely from an agreement regarding settlement of objections to federal reserved water rights related to the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act (see Water Rights Administration for Federal Wild & Scenic Rivers).
