Idaho reconnected 8 acres of floodplain and built 2,000 feet of side channels

Warm Springs Preserve in Ketchum is currently undergoing significant habitat restoration, aimed at reviving local ecosystems. The initiative includes reconnecting floodplains and building new channels to support aquatic species. An enhanced irrigation system is projected to conserve roughly 50 million gallons of water annually.
