A Collaborative, Market-Driven Approach to Water Management
Declines in Teton Valley, Idaho’s underground aquifer and water supply are having a significant impact on local livelihoods, fish, and wildlife. In response, an unlikely and effective partnership of local irrigators, agencies, scientists and conservation groups is finding solutions to change the way we work together and how water is managed to sustain the future of agriculture. The Teton Basin Water Users Association (TBWUA) is a group of agricultural producers, conservation groups, municipal and county leaders, and experts in hydrology and economics of the rural west who are working together to develop a more stable water supply for all users in Teton Valley.
