The Universities Council on Water Resources (UCOWR) is a consortium of academic institutions and affiliates dedicated to water resources research, education, and outreach. Founded in 1964, UCOWR brings together research universities, undergraduate institutions, tribal colleges, historically black colleges and universities, and Hispanic-serving institutions to address the challenges and opportunities in water resources management. With a focus on interdisciplinary collaboration, UCOWR aims to foster the development of water leaders and promote innovative solutions for sustainable water management.
UCOWR organizes an annual conference, publishes the Journal of Contemporary Water Research & Education, and offers membership benefits such as reduced publication fees and access to a network of water resource professionals. The organization also collaborates with the American Water Resources Association (AWRA) and the National Institutes for Water Resources (NIWR) to host joint conferences and celebrate their 60th anniversaries in 2024. Through its diverse membership and inclusive approach, UCOWR plays a vital role in advancing water resources knowledge and promoting effective water management practices.
