Idaho commits to building 750,000 acre-feet of new water storage by the year 2100, branded as the "750k by 2100" initiative to address declining Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer levels and annual water curtailments

Urges Congress, Department of the Interior, and Bureau of Reclamation to fast-track feasibility research on raising Minidoka Dam, Jackson Lake, and American Falls Dam

Requests federal support for planning new medium-sized reservoirs at potential sites including Lane Lake, Chester, Soda Springs, Upper Badger Creek, Spring Creek, and Moody Creek

Idaho currently loses 1.5 to 2 million acre-feet of water annually flowing down the Snake River due to insufficient reservoir capacity to capture it

Calls for completion of an updated basin study within 2-3 years and federal assistance with creative financing through public-private partnerships
