Description
A characterization of the data, including its intended use and limitations.
Abstract: 
The Water Supply Bank is a water exchange market operated by the Water Board to assist marketing of water rights to natural flow water or water stored in Idaho reservoirs.
Purpose: 
Water users who in any given year have rights to more water than they require can put the excess stored water or natural flow rights that will not be used in the Bank. From there, the water can be sold or leased to people who do not have enough to meet their needs. This system helps make excess water available to other users for such things as irrigation or other authorized uses. Water Bank water also has proven valuable by providing stored water for downstream salmon recovery efforts. This Water Bank approach helps put the maximum amount of water to beneficial use. Water in the Bank involves two distinct categories of water: The first is natural flow water. This generally involves rights to surface water diverted from a river, stream or groundwater. The Board directly controls the sale or rental of water covered under natural flow water rights. The second is stored water, that is water stored in "rental pools" in reservoirs. There are currently four rental pools operated by local committees appointed by the Board in Idaho. They involve water from the Snake River upstream from Milner Dam near Burley (including a separate bank operated by the Sho-Ban Tribes), the Boise River and the Payette River.

Metadata Standards
Description of the metadata standard used to document the data and reference to any additional extended profiles to the standard used by the metadata producer.
Standard name: FGDC Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata
Standard version: FGDC-STD-001-1998
Time convention: local time
FGDC Plus Metadata Stylesheet
Stylesheet: FGDC Plus Stylesheet
File name: FGDC Plus.xsl
Version: 2.3
Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well. The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.
