In that year, Congress passed the Water Re-sources Act, establishing water research institutes similar to A WRRC at land-grant universities throughout the United States. Today, the water institute program is administered by the U.S. De-partment of the Interior, Geological Survey. A WRRC has contributed substantially to our knowledge of the state's water resources. Through the years, projects have included topics concerned with irrigation, ground water modeling, erosion, water , quality and ecosystems. Recent A WRRC studies include determining the suitability of Ar-kansas River water for municipal, industrial and agricultural use; assessing the wa,ter quality of the Illinois River; septic tank and sludge disposal stud-ies; determination of irrigation scheduling and wa-ter-use efficiency; and development of a geographic information system (GIS) database and models for use with Arkansas' water. Information on water research and other wa-ter;resource information is disseminated by the Center through public presentations, conferences and publications. Since 1980, an average of more than 15 prin-cipal investigators a year have participated in A WRRC projects. In addition, approximately eight undergraduate students and 15 graduate students gain valuable training and experience through A WRRC projects each year. Many of these stu-dents participate in environmentally related work :across the state. An advisory committee, composed of representatives from state and federal agencies, industry and academia, provides guidance for the Center. A WRRC research helps ensure pure, adequate water for Arkansas today and tomorrow. AWRRC's Statewide Mission Plan and conduct component re-search, either basic or applied, with respect to water resources. Promote the dissemination and applica-tion of research results. Provide for the training of scientists and engineers. Cooperate closely with colleges and universities within the state that have demonstrable research capabilities. Cooperate with other institutes to effectively confront regional water and land related challenges. To formulate a research program responsive to state water issues, the Center works closely with state and federal agencies and academic institutions. Priority re-search categories are: + Water quality-protection of surface and ground water. +Water management-legal, institutional and financial aspects. +Water quantity-water use, surface-water flow, aquifer characterization and modeling. +Aquatic and environmental assessment-ecological system studies, fish and other animal and plant life. + Engineering issues-studies not included in other pri-ority areas but which are directed toward meeting critical water-quality challenges. A WRRC.maintains a technical library con-sisting of more than 260 titles dealing with water topics in Arkansas. A nominal copying charge is required for out-of-print titles. Call or write to receive the Center's quarterly newsletter. Research, training and information dissemi-nation is supported partially with institute program funds. The Center, however, obtains and adminis-ters grants from state and federal agencies and foundations. Research affiliations usually involve a cooperative partnership focusing on a water topic requiring near-term answers.
