Palouse Basin Aquifer Committee – Palouse Basin Aquifer Committee

The Palouse Basin Aquifer Committee works to ensure a long-term, quality water supply for the Palouse Basin region.

We are committed to working together

The primary role of PBAC is to encourage the member entities to implement the Palouse Basin Groundwater Management Plan, enacted in 1992 and updated in 2015. Additional roles involve education and information exchange, monitoring of pumping and groundwater levels, and funding of groundwater system research.
