Water and Idaho
Submitted by Jocelyn Hayes on Sat, 2017-06-03 00:00
Water has always been the life blood for the citizens of the State of Idaho. From the time the settlers made this state home, specifically the Snake River Valley, water has been used to feed families, irrigate vegetation, provide recreation while protecting the resources in the water. The study being done by the GeoScience department at Boise State is very important work. Without this important data being analyzed by all stakeholders we cannot make important decisions about future growth and how it impacts our most precious resource, water. My grandfather was very much involved in the planning and building of irrigation canals in the Snake River Valley. I'm sure he would have taken advantage of this information.
