Riverside Chat with Christian Petrich
A River Runs Through It: The Boise River and the Treasure Valley Aquifer System
Tuesday February 11th 12-1 at the Downtown Boise Library or register for Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/…/register/NpUDTLhFSDK36NzIHDIUIw
It’s no secret – the Treasure Valley population is growing rapidly. Will we have enough water in the coming decades to meet the needs of a growing population? This riverside chat will begin with a brief review of the Treasure Valley aquifer system and its connection to the Boise River. We will then explore options for meeting growing municipal water demand, discuss the role that the Boise River will play in meeting this demand, and consider possible impacts of climate change on the Boise River and the Treasure Valley water supply.
