IEF's Elemental Idaho series returns this May with a four‑week exploration of the fundamental elements that
shape Idaho’s environmental future:
Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.
Tuesdays in May
White Dog Brewing
705 W Fulton St., Boise
4:30-6:00 PM
Panels begin at 5:00 PM
Join IEF for a panel series featuring one element per week, using each theme as a lens to examine Idaho‑specific challenges, opportunities, and real‑world solutions. Panels will bring together voices from across sectors (including practitioners, policymakers, scientists, and community leaders) to ground big environmental concepts in a practical, low stakes setting. Each session is designed to be accessible and engaging, offering thoughtful discussion without requiring technical expertise. Whether the topic is land and soils, air quality, water systems, or wildfire and resilience, Elemental Idaho creates space for informed conversation about how these elements intersect with communities, policy, infrastructure, and environmental stewardship across the state.

WATER
Topic:
FROM SOURCE TO SINK
From Source to Sink explores the hidden complexity behind every glass of water. Panelists will unpack how sourcing, treatment, compliance, and infrastructure decisions collide in the real world. And what utilities must navigate to deliver the clean, reliable water we’ve all grown to expect. Featuring perspectives from utility leadership, regulators, and industry, this conversation will highlight emerging challenges, practical solutions, and the critical connections across the entire water system. Expect practical insight, honest dialogue, and a true full‑system perspective. Expect to develop a deeper appreciation for the people and decisions behind every drop.
