Water Conservation and Management
Oklahoma Water Resources Center
The Oklahoma Water Resource Center helps resolve water issues in Oklahoma by sponsoring
research and sharing the knowledge that results from it. The Water Resources Research
Act of 1964 authorized the establishment of a water resources research and technology
center or institute at a land-grant university in each state. As a result, the Oklahoma
Water Resources Research Institute (currently known as the Oklahoma Water Resources
Center) was founded in 1965 at OSU within the Division of Agricultural Sciences and
Natural Resources. The center is now a member of the National Institutes for Water
Resources.
