 Water Resources Center
The Water Resources Center (WRC), established in 1996 by merging three University water organizations, works to ensure the value and quality of water resources for future generations through research, education, and public outreach. Stressing the importance of collaboration between the University and practitioners and the general public, the Center helps facilitate the sharing of research through the University of Minnesota Extension so that necessary
information can more readily be considered by decision-makers and citizens. With many outreach programs in action to help Minnesotans understand issues from the importance of managing stormwater to protecting shorelands, the WRC also works to educate University students by administering the Graduate Program in Water Resources Science and conducts research on topics ranging from the effects of animal waste on water quality to the impacts of climate
change on the distribution, quality, and quantity of the state’s water resources.
