Welcome to the East Carolina University Water Resources Center

MISSION

Create support structures, facilities, and resources to enable ECU faculty and students to perform world-class water research and education.

Center affiliates are finding ways to improve our understanding at the interface of human, natural, and engineered systems to ensure a resilient and sustainable future for communities at home and around the world.

At the Water Resources Center, we aim to:

Enhance understanding of water issues through research and education.
Develop and apply new ideas that will lead to sustainable water management in eastern North Carolina and around the world.
Train the next generation of water scientists.
Engage the general public of regional water quality and quantity issues.
Serve as a link between water researchers, water professionals, and the general public.

Check out the broad range of water-related researchers at ECU on our People page. If you are interested in learning more about the Center or participating in water-related research at ECU, please Connect with us through a brief survey to tell us about your research and outreach interests.
