The State of Washington Water Research Center (WRC) was established by the American Water Resources Research Act of 1964 as one of the National Institutes for Water Resources.  Over it’s more than half century of work on water resources for the benefit of the State of Washington, The WRC has become an integral connection between academics; local, state, and federal government; and the private sector.

The WRC has a threefold mission:

1. To oversee and conduct applied water-related research
2. To foster the education and training of our Nation’s future water professionals
3. To serve as a nexus within the academic community by transferring research results to those who manage or use the Nation’s water resources

The WRC is housed at Washington State University, but collaborates with water researchers colleges and Universities throughout the state, nation, and world to pursue its mission.
