Miles Research-Future Water Shortage
The Water and Growth video was very interesting. They project that the Treasure Valley could have a water shortage in the next 50 years. The research compared how managed growth may look versus unconstrained growth and how this will affect our water. It is evident how important it is for our lawmakers to make decisions about land use and management based on research.
