[Vision2020] PBAC Web Site (was RE: Water and Sewer Agreements: reply from Walter Steed)

[Steven Basoa]

I believe our library has dvd copies of the recent annual water  
summits.  They should be very informative and help with understanding  
the issues with water.

These sites should also be helpful:

Hi Tom & Visionaries:

As Mr. Kiem already posted, PBAC is such an organization.  You can find
their Web site at:
http://www.webs.uidaho.edu/pbac/
"A Committee (now known as PBAC) was formed in 1967 because of declining
groundwater levels in our municipal wells. The Palouse groundwater  
basin is
the sole source of water for over 50,000 residents of Pullman,  
Washington
and Moscow, Idaho and outlying areas in both Whitman County  
(Washington) and
Latah County (Idaho). Also included among our groundwater users are
Washington State University and the University of Idaho. We are a
multi-jurisdictional, cooperative group with the mission of ensuring  
a safe
and sustainable supply of water for the future."

I've found the wealth of information on the Web site (not that I've  
made it
through all of it yet!) very helpful for me in my recent quest to try  
to get
up-to-speed on water issues in this area.

Two Questions -

Question #1:  Which communities does the aquifer support?  We know  
that it
supports Moscow and Pullman.  Which others (if any)?

Question #2:  Would it be feasible to establish some sort of aquifer
governing committee, comprised of members of each of those communities
reflected in #1, to decide (based on their respective community's input)
control factors concerning the aquifer (the "power" of each
representative's vote based upon the population of their community)?

Just thought I'd ask.
