The USGS funds a graduate research program with resources directed to the Institute through the National Institutes for Water Research. Since 2001, we have awarded more than $772,000 in USGS grants to support 141 students in water resources-related fields.
This program is supported by funding received from the USGS through the Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) of 1984. The WRRA established water resources institutes in each of the 50 states as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam and provides funds for research on solving water issues. TWRI is one of the 54 institutes in the National Institute for Water Resources, which serves as the contact between individual institutes and the federal funding sponsor, USGS.
