About TN WRRC
The Tennessee Water Resources Research Center, 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.
TN WRRC'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 WRRC-sponsored research.
One of TNWRRC's greatest strengths is its ability to establish and nurture partnerships with a wide range of water-related agencies, individuals, and organizations, including the U.S. Geological Survey; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; the Tennessee Valley Authority; the Natural Resource Conservation Service; the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation; the Tennessee Department of Transportation; Knoxville's Department of Engineering; Knoxville's Greenways Coordinator; Ijams Nature Center; the Knoxville Utility Board; the University of Memphis; Tennessee Technological University; Mississippi State University; and the University of Tennessee's School of Planning and departments of ecology and evolutionary biology, engineering, and geography.
