The use of water resources was of great concern to many departments at
Texas Tech, civic government, and private industry. To meet their needs for
research and water resources advancement, the Texas Tech University Board of
Regents established the Water Resources Center in 1965. Members from civic
government, chemical and civil engineering and the College of Agricultural
Sciences (to name just a few) serve an advisory function.

The collection pertains to water use and practice throughout Texas and
the United States. The collection was originally the subject files of Robert V.
Thurmond, Associated County Agricultural Agent out of Texas A & M in the
1950s. Dr. Marvin J. Dvoracek acquired the papers, adding his own materials to
the collection. Dr. Marvin J. Dvoracek is Associate Professor of Civil
Engineering, Emeritus, 1962-1994 at Texas Tech.
