Biographical Sketch
Established in 1965 by the Board of Regents, the Water Resources Center (WRC)
researches water issues on the state, national and international level, and in
particular water concerns of the Texas High Plains. The WRC is housed in the
Civil Engineering building and its researchers are comprised of Civil and
Environmental Engineering faculty.
"The operating philosophy of the WRC is that the highest priority for research
activities should be accorded to concerns inherent in ensuring the High Plains region
has water supplies that are adequate in quantity and quality to meet the region's needs.
Thus, three objectives have been identifies: 1)Augmentation- increasing the supply of
available water; 2) Conservation- reducing demands by increasing the efficiency of
water use; and 3) Protection- preventing the pollution of existing supplies. Education
and the WRC go hand-in-hand."
More information on the WRC can be found at http://www.wrc.ce.ttu.edu/
