The Center for Water Research, CWR frontier research spans from water quality to policy issues that requires fundamental components to address. The CWR research scientists have a strong synergy between the NIFS research groups to harmonize ecological, economic, and social interests in water usage. To minimize overlap, we foster collaboration with State Water Ministries, national universities, research institutes, industry, and international organizations.
