It studies the properties, distribution, and circulation of water on and below the Earth's surface and in the atmosphere. It includes creeks, rivers, springs, wetlands, groundwater, precipitation (rain and snow), evaporation, seepage and movement in and out of the system by human activity such as irrigation and wells. The unique hydrology of the Teton Valley means that ground and surface water are closely linked. This connection allows irrigators to store surface water into the aquifer through recharge and have that water return to the Teton River later in the summer. Summer water is more valuable than early-season spring water The goal of the Teton Water User’s Association (TWUA) is to convert abundant cheap snowmelt runoff water into scarce valuable summer water. The seepage into the ground that occurs during irrigation and through unlined irrigation canals is known as incidental recharge. Once in the aquifer, this water travels slower than water on the surface, delaying its delivery into local streams by an estimated 1-3 months, depending on location. The shallow aquifer acts like an underground reservoir, storing abundant, cheap spring water and turning it into scarce, valuable summer water, which can then provide downstream producers with increased water availability for irrigation, feed wetlands and streams, and boost the water table. https://www.tetonwaterusersassociation.org/contact daily 0.75 2025-02-06 https://www.tetonwaterusersassociation.org/water-canals daily 0.75 2024-08-08 https://www.tetonwaterusersassociation.org/newsfaqs daily 0.75 2024-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/db20c4b5-eaf7-4103-a4be-33dd4158b69c/20190509-_DSC7251.jpg News & FAQs - Make it stand out Teton Water Users Association - New Approaches to Addressing Emerging Problems MOSAIC THE STATE OF THE TETONS ECOSYSTEM - 2018 EDITION “What direction does water flow?” Anyone who has watched snow melt o the mountains every year knows the obvious answer: “Downhill.” Yet those who’ve made water their life’s work often give a different reply: “Water flows towards money.” If you doubt that answer, look at any one of the many infrastructure projects around the United States that pump water uphill, at times over entire mountain ranges, to places where water is needed and people are willing to pay for it. Or for a more local context, look at any of the agricultural pumps that move water out of our waterways to make it available for agricultural use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/074722e4-7920-4b87-aea2-4994cb375321/20190509-_DSC7805.jpg News & FAQs - Make it stand out Systems in the Flow TETON VALLEY MAGAZINE - JULY 5, 2018 Water has the reputation for being a contentious topic across the West. It’s the intersection of geography and climate and economics. It’s the overlapping needs of farmers, conservationists, recreationalists, and homeowners. Old timers, newcomers, and tourists alike want a healthy Teton River; they want agriculture and open spaces; they want green lawns and vibrant gardens. In essence, everyone wants water when they need it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/5ad84ef1-2916-49c0-bb7d-4d0fe2d6c162/20190618-_DSC9174.jpg News & FAQs - Make it stand out Group collaborates to recharge aquifer TETON VALLEY NEWS - AUGUST 9, 2018 A group of local stakeholders have banded together to pursue an ambitious goal: recharging the Teton Basin aquifer. Since around 1960, the amount of groundwater that returns to the Teton River each year has seen a five percent decline, which is a significant drop. “In the old days, when flood irrigation and other surface irrigation was the dominant practice, water was applied during April run-off and most of it soaked into the ground. Then, months later, we’d see those responsive stream flows,” explained Rob Van Kirk, a hydrologist with the Henry’s Fork Foundation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/ba174acf-ccab-405b-86f5-30f697d83e3f/20190509-_DSC7601.jpg News & FAQs - Make it stand out Credit program planned for Teton flood-irrigation project CAPITAL PRESS - JULY 6, 2017 A collaboration working to bring back flood irrigation in Teton Valley to benefit irrigators and wildlife through the aquifer benefits is planning a credit program to increase participation. https://www.tetonwaterusersassociation.org/market-approach daily 0.75 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/390d2018-a369-4d84-b78c-fd4b8bd8b7dc/Dewey-Springs_After.jpg Market Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/705f9c99-a36c-4e9b-8a36-68b46164ad29/Copy+of+TBWUA+Market+Approach+Model+3.2025+SHARED.png Market Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.tetonwaterusersassociation.org/results daily 0.75 2025-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/1635288746580-3U0WIMJ4XY1NJ4PPLAPY/20190625-_DSC9815.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/1635289089179-BMMOI3JVWLTBASX0P86V/20190509-_DSC7384.jpg Results - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.tetonwaterusersassociation.org/about daily 0.75 2025-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/40189e79-c225-43e4-bce0-a4b9d4561d34/20190509-_DSC7251.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/03334930-85a1-48a0-a36b-be7a48f9d6fc/tetonlocator.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/1bf8d903-eca5-436a-88aa-bf5b4778414c/txtlogoTWUA.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/7f773d60-5475-415e-81cf-a13ec2cd841f/borlogo.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/4dacbd3e-d0bf-4b57-b186-1797aaca78b1/tcsoilconservationdistrict.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/94638b62-e115-4403-9d7b-b9cc6cec0175/logo-idwr.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/a2849b56-2108-422e-b5b9-57633d53c49c/FTR.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/4b353603-f200-42de-8f2d-39966ffa4e49/TNClogo.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/8f82d914-e882-4f51-ae87-f001008acbdd/HFF.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/a2a67236-a6be-430d-a287-901c3717771d/patagonialogo.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/eed1f922-a32d-4541-bbc2-3ab0ac87e239/1FtTlogo.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/54d1d709-299a-4652-b3e1-ad628af4eac9/lwg-round-lpw.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/5b9ae0ca-ecd8-4810-8557-df30ce355a76/tetonregionallandtrust.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/1a90e9ca-4650-4acc-82c3-584c4781475b/farmbureau.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/bfbd74f5-90fd-4f7a-a40c-64a24aeb39a3/ncrs-usda.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/6572d6ba-c75c-4984-b453-19b48bd0a0fb/cityofdriggs.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f439f6f95cb61cf1daa53/e7435690-d78d-4ae5-87b3-fd40bcf068d1/tetoncountyID.png About
