WRRC News and Notes

(published 11/01/08)

Newsletter Changes The Water Resources Research Center is ringing out the old year and bringing in the new by making some changes to the Arizona Water Resource newsletter. Beginning with this issue the AWR will contain eight pages rather than 12. Further, rather than being published six times a year, the newsletter will be published five times. Instead of a January-February edition of AWR, you will receive a copy of the Arroyo.

The Arroyo is WRRC's single-issue newsletter ? single issue in that it is published once a year (Jan. - Feb.) and focuses on a single critical water issue. The forthcoming issue discusses reclaimed water. You will still therefore be receiving six copies of a WRRC newsletter per year, five AWRs and one Arroyo. Like so many other organizations during these financial strapped times, the WRRC is making do with less; we remain committed nonetheless to providing important news and information to the Arizona water community.

RFP The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the National Institutes for Water Resources requests proposals for matching grants to support research on the topics of water supply and water availability under the National Competitive Grants Program authorized by section 104G of the Water Resources Research Act. Proposals are due Feb. 20. For additional information check: https://niwr.net/competitive_grants/
