Protect Idaho’s Water.

Water shapes life in Idaho, our farms, fisheries, drinking water, recreation, and the communities that call this place home. The Idaho Water Resources Research Institute (IWRRI) connects science, students, and communities to ensure Idaho’s water remains resilient for generations.

Your gift goes straight to work to fuel fieldwork, equip future water leaders, and turns data into decisions that protect the lakes, rivers, and aquifers we all rely on.

Idaho Water Resources Research Institute (IWRRI)

The Confluence Project

Bay Watchers

Joseph Jordan IWRRI Student Research Fellowship

When you give to IWRRI, you support three things:

Science That Serves Idaho
IWRRI researchers and university partners study the water issues that matter most, from lake health and groundwater to agriculture and community systems, providing reliable, locally focused science to guide water stewardship.
Outreach That Protects What We Love
Programs like our Bay Watchers citizen science program on the water, or our Stormwater & Erosion Education Program professional development class help us keep people engaged in real data collection, stewardship, and shared solutions that safeguard water.
Students Becoming Idaho’s Next Water Leaders
Through The Confluence Project and the Youth Water Summit, and the Joseph Jordan IWRRI Student Research Fellowship, students move from classrooms into real-world water science. They collect data, work alongside professionals, and tackle real challenges, often discovering their future careers in the process.

Why Your Gift Matters Now

Idaho faces growing water challenges, changing weather, rising demand, aging infrastructure, and new water quality concerns. Your support helps IWRRI:

Expand monitoring across key lakes, rivers, and aquifers
Turn research into practical community tools
Bring water education to more schools and rural areas
Support field experience for students
Respond quickly to emerging water issues

“Idaho’s water future will be shaped by strong, collaborative science. Researchers across the state are tackling challenges that affect every corner of Idaho, from aquifer recharge and snowpack monitoring to water quality and improved access to water data. By investing in this work, we’re equipping Idaho with the knowledge, tools and partnerships needed to make informed decisions and safeguard our water resources for generations to come.”

Kendra Kaiser, IWRRI Director
