Wyoming Water Resources Center
Variant namesBiographical notes:
Created in 1982 by the Wyoming Legislature and operated by the University of Wyoming, the WWRC conducted comprehensive water research to address the conservation, development and management of Wyoming water resources. The WWRC absorbed the Wyoming Water Resources Research Institute, which had been established in 1965 by the university. The WWRC operated in partnership with state agencies charged with major responsibilities for water resources and served as a point focus for water research efforts at the University of Wyoming. The WWRC also administered the Water Resources Data System (WRDS), a database of world-wide hydrologic and climatologic data. In 1998 the Wyoming Legislature cancelled funding for the WWRC and it stopped operating in July of that year. The WRDS was subsequently transferred to the UW Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering.
