Indiana Water

Mission

The mission of the IWRRC is to coordinate the intellectual and physical resources of Indiana's universities, state agencies, and industries to resolve technical, economic, and other problems associated with water resources management, use, and preservation. The IWWRC supports research by administering the section 104B program for the state of Indiana.  The program funds water related research projects at all of Indiana’s universities.

Goal

The goals of the IWRRC are to facilitate interdisciplinary approaches to solutions of water resources issues in Indiana by gathering experts in water-related areas (such as agriculture, biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, engineering, law, political science, sociology, statistics, and wildlife).

Serve as a resource to state agencies and industries by providing the expert services of IWRRC faculty, conducting advanced research studies, and providing a forum for discussion and exchange of information.  Also, members of the IWRRC staff are in frequent contact with state water agencies and serve on many state task forces.

Provide a repository of knowledge and expertise available for use in problem-solving, planning, practical design, policy development, research and education.

Develop a comprehensive water research program with statewide impact by utilizing faculty and facility resources at Indiana's institutions of higher education.

Strengthen student education/training in water-related fields: encourage students to enter these fields, and provide the manpower necessary to solve future water resource problems.
