The Andrus Center for Public Policy is sponsoring Idaho’s Water: Supply and Quality in a Time of Growth, as our annual environmental forum. The conference will address issues with Idaho’s water supply and water quality in the context of rapid population growth and climate change in southern Idaho. Some questions the conference will consider are (1) The ability to manage Idaho’s water supplies for a rapidly growing population in the Treasure Valley where there is a continued reduction in acres of irrigated agricultural land, (2) How other states deal with changes in water use and growth, and (3) Water quality implications with urbanization of agricultural land and related issues with water quality downstream of the Boise River where it meets the Snake River. The conference is to take place on April 17, 2018 at Boise State University.
