Introduction

Research

CWR undertakes fundamental and applied research in three areas - water, carbon, and sustainability. Our mission is to create tools and systems to quantify sustainability in river basins based on the building blocks of water and carbon and to use these tools to optimize water quality, carbon sequestration, aesthetic value and human satisfaction while delivering maximum water, power, flood control and protein depending on the system. CWR publishes high impact papers from this research. For more information go to Research in the main menu.
