Our Work

Kansas Water Institute projects

The Kansas Water Institute is proud to support innovative research faculty from different universities in Kansas. Using funds awarded by USGS from the Water Resources Research Act, KWI supports 2-year projects that focus on high-priority water topics identified by the Kansas state water plan. These projects put a special emphasis on the work of early-career scientists and funding for student research (both graduate and undergraduate). Take a look at the KWI info sheet for more information about how we ensure that Kansas water is our focus.
