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. 

This event is sponsored and supported by the Idaho Department of Water Resources, Boise State University Division of Research and Economic Development, Idaho Water Resources Research Institute at the University of Idaho,  Idaho Power Company, NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) and NWS Northwest River Forecast Center, U.S., Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Oregon Climate Office, Washington State Climate Office, and USDA’s Natural Resource Conservation Service Snow Survey Program.

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.
