Welcome to NWISRL

Welcome to the Northwest Irrigation and Soils Reseach Laboratory website!

If you've been here before, you'll surely notice our new layout. The new site enhances disabled-accessibility, functionality, and even security, but we understand it can be frustrating to look for something that's been moved.

We've mapped the most commonly-used URLs to new areas of the site; so, for instance, trying to get to /pampage.shtml will correctly take you to /research/PAM.

Please let us know if we're missing links or content by either e-mailing the webmaster or using the guestbook.

Thanks!

Our laboratory was established in 1963 and was first named the 'Snake River Conservation Research Center' and later the 'Soil and Water Management Unit.' It was renamed the 'Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research Laboratory' in 1995 to better reflect its mission and area served. Research done on the irrigated lands near Kimberly, ID, applies throughout the western United States and many of the irrigated arid areas of the world. Adjoining the Headquarters complex of offices, labs, greenhouse, shop and storage buildings are 30 acres leased for field research. In 1990 a 74-acre farm, located three miles southwest, was purchased to expand field research. Additional research is conducted on cooperators' farms.
