Amends and adds to existing law to provide for the Kootenai River Water Rights Adjudication.

This legislation starts the water adjudication process for the Kootenai River Basin in North Idaho. The Idaho Department of Water Resources will be the responsible state agency. There will be no new staff requirements. The IDWR staff assigned to the adjudication of the neighboring Pend Oreille Basin will remain for this project after completing their current work. This project will likely take 4-5 years and is supported by the water users of the basin. The Kootenai Basin is the last water basin in the state to address their water adjudication needs.
