Records of the Colorado Water Resources Research Institute, 1949-1987.

The Records of the Colorado Water Resources Research Institute consists of documents dated 1949-1987, with the bulk falling from 1965-1985. The materials include project files created by researchers and overseen by CWRRI, information related to conferences, committees and commissions, internal business files maintained by longtime director Norman A. Evans (1967-1988) and miscellaneous photographs. The numerous project files cover such topics as pollution and abatement, irrigation efficiency, groundwater, river data, storage, and urban water issues generated by CWRRI alone or in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency, CSU Experiment Station, and the federal Office of Water Research and Technology, which allotted grant money to water resources research institutes. Conference, committee and commission files contain agendas, correspondence, meeting minutes, notes and reports from various water-related institutions including the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission, CSU's water coordination group, and the federal grant-funding committees overseeing CWRRI, among others. CWRRI internal files comprise a small part of this collection and include long range plans, periodic reviews of the program, and miscellaneous reports produced by the organization or its directors.
