Where does the water come from?

The source of the water for the Spokane River comes from Coeur d' Alene Lake and the underground springs fed by the Spokane-Rathdrum Aquifer. The aquifer provides drinking water for 400,000 people in the Spokane area, as well as extensive irrigation water along its course. The use of the aquifer water is so extensive that Spokane Falls, the signature natural feature of the city of Spokane, is primed by this huge underground water source.
