Core Organizations

Institute for Water Resources (IWR)
The U.S. Army Engineer Institute for Water Resources (IWR) is a field operating activity under the staff supervision of the Director for Civil Works, Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE). The Institute is the designated USACE center of expertise for integrated water resources management (IWRM), focusing on planning analysis and hydrologic engineering (Hydrologic Engineering Center) and on the collection, management and dissemination of Civil Works and navigation information (Navigation Data Center), including the Nation's waterborne commerce data (Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center).

The University of Arizona Center for Sustainability of Semi-Arid Hydrology and Riparian Areas (SAHRA)
The vision of SAHRA is to develop an integrated, multidisciplinary understanding of the hydrology of semi-arid regions, and to build partnerships with a broad spectrum of stakeholders (both public agencies and private organizations) so that this understanding is effectively applied to the management of water resources and to the rational implementation of public policy. In practice, the power to improve sustainability of water resources properly rests with elected officials, professional water managers, and legal experts at local, state, and national levels.

Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (EWRI/ASCE)
Created in 1999, the Environmental & Water Resources Institute is a civil engineering specialty institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the oldest national United States engineering society. EWRI services are designed to complement ASCE's traditional civil engineering base and to attract new categories of members (non-civil engineer allied professionals) who seek to enhance their professional and technical development. EWRI was formed to provide improved and comprehensive products and services to a variety of engineering teams working in technical, educational, and professional areas.
