Research
Auburn University Water Resources Center strives to facilitate successful collaboration among faculty and staff on multi-disciplinary water-related research. University faculty are engaged in a wide variety of multi-disciplinary projects to address local, regional, national and global water issues.
An overview of water-related research being conducted at Auburn can be found in Auburn Speaks: On Water. In addition, the WRC’s current research is focused on drought impacts on water resources, animal waste management, food-energy-water nexus, and environmental pathogens.
Education
Demands for water continue to exert increasing pressure on water resources in Alabama and the southeastern United States. Higher education programs must continually provide high quality, contemporary education to prepare our future scientists, resource managers and policy-makers that can manage our precious water resources for generations to come.
Auburn University provides a broad array of degree programs, minors, courses, and certification programs to prepare students for the challenges of water resource management and policy.
