BACKGROUND NOTE
The Water Resources Research Institute was conceptualized
in 1964 through the Water Resources Act and began services on October 8,
1954, as an administrative unit of South Dakota State University. In
September, 1990, the Institute was placed under the administrative
authority of the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences. The
mission of the Institute is to provide the leadership in coordinating
the research and training at the University and other affiliated
educational institutions and agencies across the state in the broad area
of water resources. It administers funds received from the U.S.
Department of Interior, as made available through the Water Resources
Research Act of 1984 and from the state of South Dakota. Funds received
through these sources targeted for research are directed toward solving
state, regional, and national water problems. Graduate research
training, technology transfer, and information transfer are services,
which are provided through the Institute.
The Water Resources Research Institute also houses the
Water Quality Laboratory. This laboratory serves the needs of the
people of the state by providing analytical services for determination
of inorganic constituents (and some pesticides) in water.
SCOPE AND CONTENTS
NOTE
This
collection is
composed of departmental records of the Institute, as
well as collected reports dealing with the Missouri River Basin Project.
The Departmental records are composed of material
dealing with irrigation research conducted by the institute in
collaboration with the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station.
Included is a scrapbook detailing how research is conducted at the
Irrigation Research Farm near Redfield, South Dakota and an annual
report on research in soil management and irrigation in South Dakota.
Also included is a general information sheet requesting an operating
budget for the Water Resources Research Institute during the 1973 fiscal
year and a pamphlet detailing analytical services available through the
Institute. Folders are arranged in alphabetical order.
The
Missouri River Basin Project collected reports are composed mainly
of reports collected by the Water Resources Research Institute. These
reports deal mainly with the Missouri River Basin Project. Material is
arranged in alphabetical order by report title.
