Put Water First
For us, this means taking a systematic view of drinking water source and watershed security that considers water quality and quantity as well as human and ecosystem health. PRC members are working with local officials to implement programs and policies that protect the Lower Portneuf Valley Aquifer and the Portneuf River watershed for the people, ecosystems, businesses and economies of Pocatello and surrounding communities.

Sustainable Idaho is a locally produced program aired and streamed by KISU, a National Public Radio affiliate station with studios at Idaho State University. The show explores a wide range of locally important sustainability topics. Our hosts consider three key pillars of sustainability: the economic, societal, and environmental aspects and why these matter to Idahoans.
