Indiana Water

About Us

IWRRC is one of 54 institutes in the National Institute of Water Resources (NIWR) program that was established by "The Water Resources Research Act of 1964". This national program is based on research, student training, and technology transfer and is a unique network that links to virtually all research oriented universities in the United States.

The IWRRC is housed in Lilly Hall on the main campus of Purdue University. Since its inception in 1964, the Center has provided financial support for more than 200 research and/or outreach projects at educational institutions in Indiana. Blending resources from the University, state and local water resource agencies, and industries, the IWRRC offers an excellent opportunity to define and solve water resource problems within our state.

Our program supports research in all areas of water science with particular emphasis on agriculture, civil engineering, microbiology, biogeochemistry, and geology. Specific topic areas include lake management, septic systems, surface water management, and wetlands.
