Colorado State University has long been a leader in the West in water research and engineering. The University was a logical choice to oversee the Colorado Water Resources Research Institute (CWRRI) when, in 1964, Congress passed the Water Resources Research Act to better coordinate the nation's water research programs. The mission of CWRRI on the CSU campus was to bring water concerns and problems to the attention of water experts in higher education, facilitate research into these issues and disseminate new information to all water users. Most of the collection consists of the organizational files of longtime CWRRI director, Norman A. Evans, who served from 1967-1988. Materials include working files related to the many research projects and proposals generated by the program and information related to various water-related conferences, committees and commissions attended by Evans. In addition, there are CWRRI internal business files with long range plans, periodic reviews of the program, and miscellaneous reports produced by the organization or its directors.
