Missouri Water Center works to monitor water quality, quantities; train students
When it comes to water, there are a lot of stakeholders. Not only do we all need access to clean water鈥攊ncluding fish and wildlife鈥攂ut local economies rely on lakes and rivers for agriculture and tourism. When there鈥檚 not enough, droughts can destroy a year鈥檚 worth of crops. Too much can cause flooding that devastates communities. With those factors in mind, Mizzou established the Missouri Water Center a year ago, merging two former centers.
