History of AWI Research Approach


A survey taken in 2006 revealed strong interest in collaborating with the Arizona Water Institute by a range of individuals representing local, county,state, and federal governments, Indian tribes, watershed alliances, farmers, water companies, non-governmental organizations, and private industries. From this survey AWI developed a long list of potential projects requested by Arizona agencies and communities. The research needs have been organized into several research themes, each with a collaborative research team and a theme leader.
