Collaborative modeling in the Palouse Basin

The Palouse Basin is located on the border of southeastern Washington State and northwestern Idaho. This bi-state aquifer is the sole source for drinking water for over 50,000 people who live and work in and around Pullman Washington, Moscow Idaho, Washington State University and University of Idaho. The basin is managed by members of the Palouse Basin Aquifer Committee in a collaborative manner. Details for management are described in the 1992 Palouse Basin Ground Water Management Plan.

Sustainable Water Resource Management and Participatory System Dynamics. Case study: Developing the Palouse Basin Participatory Model describes the collaborative modeling project that created the Palouse Basin Water Resource Visioning Tool.
