The Idaho Department of Water Resources and Boise State University will host the Pacific Northwest Water Summit to identify vulnerabilities and opportunities to increase drought and climate resilience across economic sectors that depend on the region's water resources. The meeting will be Tuesday, November 4, 2025, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. This meeting is a new iteration of the annual Idaho Fall Water Supply Meeting. To support this effort, state and regional partners from Washington and Oregon will share impacts felt across the Pacific Northwest during the water year.
The summit will highlight cutting-edge, innovative, water resources research via presentations and a student poster session. Additionally, a recap of the water supply from the 2025 Water Year will provide insight on how conditions impacted the build up and melt out of the year’s snowpack, timing of irrigation demand, and stored water remaining at the end of the 2025 Water Year.
This meeting will also include:
- The outlook for the coming year: Review oceanic conditions and how anomalies in the Pacific could impact the coming year’s snowpack/water supply.
- The Annual 2025 Water Year Impacts Survey for the Pacific Northwest: Connect the water year conditions to sector-specific impacts to inform planning, response actions, and technical and scientific information needs.
- An evening mixer: Enjoy appetizers and a no-host bar to connect with colleagues and foster interaction between agency and academic partners.
The event will be in person, but a virtual option will be available for select presentations. Organizers encourage in-person attendance. Catering will be provided. We invite our partners from across the region to attend and participate. Please register for the event by October 30 to ensure an accurate catering count.
