  • Plan, facilitate, and conduct research to aid in the resolution of state and regional water problems
  • Promote technology transfer and the dissemination and application of research results
  • Provide for the training of scientists and engineers through their participation in research
  • Provide for competitive grants to be awarded under the Water Resources Research Act
