Guest Speaker – Steve Robischon, Executive Director Palouse Basin Aquifer Committee. The Palouse Basin Aquifer Committee (PBAC) was formed in 1967 because of declining groundwater levels in municipal wells. The Palouse groundwater basin is the sole source of water for over 50,000 residents of Pullman, WA and Moscow, ID and outlying areas in both Whitman County (WA) and Latah County (ID). PBAC is a multi-jurisdictional, cooperative group with the mission of ensuring a safe and sustainable supply of water for the future. Steve will discuss the lessons learned by PBAC that may assist in the long term success of IWAC.
