WWA Research and Activities

The vision for the Western Water Assessment (WWA) project is to work within an evolving social context and increase the relevance and value of scientific information in order to improve decision-making strategies.  In this approach, the research focuses on the decision-making processes of the individuals, groups, and organizations in the Interior West who have responsibility for managing water resources, as well as those who use the water, and those responsible for its treatment and the protection of the aquatic environment.  By understanding the decision making processes, the stresses, and the constraints of this diverse community, researchers can develop hydro-climate products and assessments that meet a suite of user needs, allowing the user community to make the best possible decisions. In addition, WWA is actively seeking to educate its stakeholders on important new findings from all climate research so that our users can assist in setting our research agenda.
