Research
Externally Funded Projects
In December 2006 the Water Institute Faculty Advisory established a Project Classification policy for the Water Institute. There are four categories of projects depending on the level of involvement of the Water Institute in the project development. For more details see Classification PolicyWater Institute Directed Projects
