| Abstract | The most significant impact of geothermal resource development in southern Idaho will be the effect on water. Any geothermal resource development in Idaho will involve some form of consumptive utilization of thermal waters for energy conversion. The potential for discord between geothermal development and water resources is considered the most critical legal conflict facing future geothermal resource development in Idaho. |
