Portneuf Vision

Season 2 Episode 4 | 6m 7s

The Portneuf River flows for about 100 miles before it gets squeezed into concrete channels through the city of Pocatello. But in the city, the Portneuf no longer seems like a river. So city officials and the Army Corp of Engineers have decided the time is right to restore the Portneuf. A team of scientists from the MILES project joins in to help craft the Portneuf Vision.
