About Us

The mission of Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI) is to provide the District of
Columbia (DC) with interdisciplinary research support to identify DC water resources problems and contribute to their solution.

The Institute coordinates and facilitates water resources related research projects through seed grants provided to faculty members from the consortium of universities in the District.
Presently, these universities include the University of the District of Columbia, Howard
University, George Washington University, the Catholic University, Georgetown University,
American University and George Mason University, The opportunity to train students through
development and implementation of practical applications of water science in biological,
environmental, urban development and engineering programs is a major accomplishment of the institute. Through these research projects, students interact with employers at federal and local agencies essential for future job opportunities. The seed grant program allows faculty members access to new technologies and equipment which help develop their expertise in water resource management. Results of each project are reported and disseminated through published studies, technical reports, seminars, newsletters, brochures and the WRRI website.

The Water Resources Research Institute at the University of the District of Columbia is the only urban based Water Resources Research Institute in the Nation and the only one at a Historically Black College University (BBCU).
