The Water
Resources Research Act of 1984, as amended, (42USC1031 et seq.) authorizes
a water resources research institute in each state and territory to:
- "plan, conduct,
or otherwise arrange for competent research that fosters (A) the entry
of new research scientists into the water resources fields, (B) the
training and education of future water scientists, engineers, and technicians,
(C) the preliminary exploration of new ideas that address water problems
or expand understanding of water and water related phenomena, and (D)
the dissemination of research results to water managers and the public,
and
- "cooperate
closely with other colleges and universities in the State that have
demonstrated capabilities for reserach, information dissemination, and
graduate training in order to develop a statewide program designed to
resolve State and regional water and related land problems."
Each institute is
also directed to "cooperate closely with other institutes and other
organizations in the region to increase the effectiveness of the institutes
and for the purpose of promoting regional coordination." Note: The document above is in Adobe® (.PDF) format. If
