Water

Water is critical to all life on Earth. The clear rivers, beautiful lakes and pure drinking water are reasons many of us chose to make Northern Idaho home. Kootenai Environmental Alliance is the leading advocate for water conservation and water quality protection across the Inland Northwest. We work to protect the Rathdrum-Prairie Aquifer, the surface beauty our water presents, as well as, the water quality in Spokane River, Coeur d’Alene Lake and Hayden Lake, which have de-graded due to elevated phosphorous levels, sediment and storm water pollution.
