About this source

Idaho Department of Water Resources via its public ArcGIS REST services (gis.idwr.idaho.gov). No auth. Water-right points of diversion, drilled wells & construction permits, places of use, appropriation permits, diversion/measurement sites, and regulatory groundwater/management areas. Filter by basin (1–99), owner, county, water district, beneficial use, or location (bbox / near a point). Coordinates are reprojected to WGS84 for the map viewer. Every search needs at least one filter — the primary layers hold 200k+ records.
