About

The Water Center is administratively affiliated with the Virginia Tech’s College of Natural Resources and Environment and is a member of the National Institutes for Water Resources (NIWR) and the Universities Council on Water Resources (UCOWR). The Center is also coordinator for Virginia Tech’s membership in Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI). We take pride in our continued efforts to offer funding to outstanding undergraduate and graduate students attending Virginia’s colleges and universities. We are constantly looking for ways to support meaningful water research, and we are dedicated supporters of interdisciplinary research and educational projects.

The Water Center also acts as an information resource for interested citizens, water specialists and professionals. We produce weekly water-related “Announcements” from the Virginia Water Monitoring Council; a water-related Job Board plus research bulletins, reports, and other publications, including outreach and education materials.
