DESCRIPTION

CWRRI is a statewide research and technology center with offices at Colorado State University. CWRRI works closely with Colorado water users and managers in formulating research and technology transfer programs responsive to the current and future needs of Colorado's evolving water management efforts. Faculty at Colorado's research universities are supported in responding to those carefully defined needs. Graduate study in water resources is available in a number of specializations. CWRRI will assist in identifying the most appropriate program for potential students.
