Abstract: The Wisconsin Water Resources Institute's information transfer program objectives are to promote, coordinate, document and publicize water resources research; to enhance educational capability through training and public service; to provide a wide range of information and outreach on water-related issues; and to provide information to government agencies, the scientific community, the private sector, and the general public.
