As we head into the Christmas holiday season and the watch 2020 come to a close, I must admit that Iâm feeling a bit of sadness â and a little bit of joy â contemplating the departure of two very valuable long-time members of the Idaho Water Resource Board, Vince Alberdi of Kimberly and John âBertâ Stevenson of Rupert, whose terms expire at the yearâs end.
Iâd like to take a moment to reflect on their contribution to key milestones that the Water Board has achieved in recent years â things that are quite monumental in our world.
The Idaho Water Resource Board was created in 1965 to create and implement a comprehensive State Water Plan for the conservation, development, management and optimum use of our water resources. We work very closely with the Idaho Legislature on water issues and policy.
