Its primary purpose was to "encourage and coordinate university-wide planning and implementation of interdisciplinary programs for research and graduate education in water resources." 1 The research emphasis is centered on three areas: fundamental hydrology; water quality and pollution and the mechanics of pollution transport and dispersion; and fundamental research in planning for water resources managament. 2

Governor Otto Kerner cooperating with the Water Resource Research Act of 1964 (P.L. 88-379) designated this university center as the water resources research institute for the State of Illinois. 3 Beginning with the fiscal year 1968 the Center has received matching water resources research funds. 4
