Conservation, while being cheapest, also has the most limited
potential. There is a finite minimum that can be reached, and if there
is any growth involved that minimum will eventually creep up to where
we are anyway.<br>
<br>
I would rather have to shoulder a bit of a burden tax-wise in order to
see a definite solution that will be less restrictive. I'll leave it
to the experts to find the most cost-effective solution that will help
out the most in the long run.<br>

<pre wrap="">I don't know about Washington, but the Nez Perce Tribe might have
something significant to say as those are waters covered under their
settlement with the state. A more probable but still highly unlikely
source would be the N. Fk of the Palouse above Laird Park. Unlikely
because of the cost of a pipeline, diversion structure, pump station
(to get around/over Moscow Mountain.
Conservation is still the cheapest source of "new water". As I've
discussed here previously, new development could fund conservation
implementation to offset a development's water demand. Simple
balancing of the water checkbook.

<pre wrap="">Thanks, Mark.
I also wonder that if money were available for such a project,
setting aside any environmental concerns, Moscow would be able to
appropriate Clearwater River water. Wouldn't Washington users
downstream have superior claims that would make such a project
difficult?

Sunil is referring to the study done by the Army Corps of Engineers
sometime way back when that looked at the Palouse, Clearwater and
Snake Rivers as possible water sources for Moscow. Even back then
(1974 I think) the energy costs of pumping water uphill to Moscow
were prohibitive. The only person I know who has an actual copy of
the study is Joel Hamilton. There is likely one in the UI library.
