The
CSREES National Water-Quality Extension Program |
The
goal of the CSREES National Water Quality Program is to protect
or improve the quality of water resources throughout
the United States and its territories, particularly in agriculturally
managed watersheds. We seek to address this goal at the national,
regional, state and local levels. This program consists of
nine Regional Programs (based on the ten EPA regions), along
with comprehensive National Facilitation, Extension Education,
and Integrated Research, Education, and Extension projects.
This web site features an index of all projects funded by the
CSREES Water Quality National Program Office to date. Hawaii
is part of Region 9, Southwest
States and Pacific Islands Regional Water Quality Program. |
