Committee Members

The Palouse Basin Aquifer Committee consists of 12 representatives, two from each of the six member entities. Each entity typically appoints an elected official or administrator (city council member, county commissioner), as well as an individual who serves the entity in a technical capacity (Director of Public Works, engineer).

PBAC’s Executive Manager and Technical Advisor are responsible for monitoring progress and encouraging implementation of goals of the Groundwater Management Plan, providing oversight of sponsored research projects, serving as a liaison between the PBAC and the community, and maintaining detailed and accurate records on water levels and pumping in the basin.
