Keys: A lot of people are trying to deal with water issues . . . right there

Kay said before that we all live in a watershed, and she is absolutely right. There is a movement for watershed councils that have formed around. In eastern Idaho there is a great one -- the Henry's Watershed Council is a great example of how a lot of people are trying to deal with water issues in a single basin. Now, yes that single basin is part of a larger one, but they are trying to deal with the issues right there -- the storage of water issue, the land use issue, the timber issues -- all of them they are trying to deal with there. And we are seeing that in a lot of parts of the country. We have one on the Platt River, [where we're] working with Wyoming and Colorado and Nebraska in trying to meet endangered species requirements and not take water or take land from anybody. So there are a number of good examples out there of those things that are going on now.
