Water Resources and Lake Studies Center at The University of Vermont is one of 54 institutes established by Congress through the Water
Resources Research Act of 1964 and located at the land-grant university
in each state, the District of Columbia and three U.S. territories. |

| Throughout
its history, the Vermont Water Center has served the citizens of
the state of Vermont by funding research on major issues of concern
to the state, by disseminating and distributing information on water
resources throughout Vermont, and by helping to educate students
about the various aspects of water resources. |

| Early Water
Center programs included USDA-SCS funded projects of more than 10
years duration on issues related to agricultural water quality and
best management practices. |

| Recent efforts
have focused on Lake Champlain, alternative methods of wastewater
treatment and groundwater quality. The Vermont Water Resources and
Lake Studies Center is a member of National
Institutes for Water Research (NIWR) and is partially supported
by the U.S. Geological Survey
