Institute for Water and Watersheds

The Institute for Water and Watersheds engages in a variety of activities related to fresh water research and education.  These include:

• Assembling diverse research teams and leading interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary water research projects.  In October 2010, the IWW began the NSF-supported Willamette Water 2100 project.

• Offering training and access to water quality and stable isotope analysis facilities through a shared laboratory called the IWW Collaboratory.

• Facilitating collaboration between policy makers, water managers, university faculty and students.

• Supporting community and education by sponsoring events and producing a weekly campus water newsletter.

• Assisting water faculty with project development and management including maintaining a database of funding opportunities.
