USGS Water Resources Research Institutes Program -- IWW is one of 54 state- or territory-based, water resources research institutes in the country. The centers were established by the 1964 federal Water Resources Research Act in order to address water research and education priorities in each state. The IWW receives federal matching funds to support water resources research and education activities in the Oregon and awards small grants through this program.
The water resources institutes in each state have formed an association called the National Institutes for Water Resources (NIWR). Click on the logo to the right for more information about NIWR and links to institutes in other states.
