Project Summary: The mission of the Florida Water Resources Research Center is to facilitate communication and collaboration between Florida's Universities and the state agencies that are responsible for managing Florida's water resources. A primary component of this collaborative effort is the development of graduate training opportunities in critical areas of water resources that are targeted to meet Florida's short- and long-term needs. For the upcoming year, agreements have been established with three Universities (Florida State University, University of South Florida, and the University of Florida) and four state agencies (South Florida Water Management District, Southwest Florida Water Management District, St. Johns River Water Management District, and the Florida Geological Survey) that will support 10 Ph.D. students for FY2006.
