The Water Center
The Virginia Water Resources Research Center was established at Virginia Tech in 1965 by the U.S. Congress as one of the nation’s 54 water institutes. In 1982, the Water Center was authorized by the Virginia General Assembly as a state agency. The center’s mission is to offer research and educational opportunities to water scientists and students. It also provides water science information to citizens and government leaders. The center offers funding to outstanding undergraduate and graduate students attending Virginia’s colleges and universities, supports meaningful water research and is dedicated to interdisciplinary research and educational projects. The Water Center also acts as an information resource for interested citizens, water specialists and professionals, via newsletters, research bulletins, reports and other publications
