For Watershed Scientists
The Illinois Water Resources Center (IWRC) supports outreach, education and research to promote better understanding and use of Illinois water resources.
In 2005, IWRC supported two research projects with state funding and monitored four projects funded with 104G money. We co-sponsored the Governor’s Conference on the Illinois River and began planning the Illinois Water 2006 conference, a conference we orchestrate. We redid our web site to include easier navigation and more information as well.
IWRC continues to receive EPA funding for a regional center that provides research and other forms of technical assistance to drinking water systems in small communities. The Midwest Technology Assistance Center (MTAC) started in November 1998 and is a collaborative effort of the IWRC and nine other water resources research institutes in the Midwest and the Illinois State Water Survey.
