The Tennessee Water Resources Research Center (TNWRRC), which is guided by a statewide advisory committee, cooperates with government agencies, private-sector nonprofit organizations, and the public to identify key water issues facing Tennessee and the region. TNWRRC facilitates research at universities and colleges throughout the region; promotes education and training relevant to water-resources issues; and serves as an information clearinghouse for federal, state, and local government agencies that oversee water-related problems.
TNWRRC’s efforts also include training of undergraduate and graduate students in various aspects of water-resource management. During the past five years, more than 60 students from five Tennessee colleges and universities have worked on TNWRRC-sponsored research.
