Just like water itself, the IWJV’s Water 4 strategic initiative is a thread that links people, wildlife, and the landscape in the Intermountain West. In the first half of 2020, the year-old initiative celebrated many successes and milestones. Thanks to the tremendous contributions of the founding Water 4 investors, we collectively made significant gains during the reporting period in three main areas: people and partnerships, science and technology, and communications and outreach. The report above covers the accomplishments from January through June 2020.
