Welcome!
The Water Resources Institute of Cal State San Bernardino, which we refer to as WRI, is more than a center for research, public policy and education.
The institute was founded, in part, to be a repository for water resources-related and we have an extensive collection of books, historical, research, legal papers; technical database and other water resources related materials. A highlight of our entire collection is a series of papers of political leaders and others who have had a major impact on water resources policy.
Ultimately, the WRI is a place for scholars, and scientists; a place for political leaders, policymakers, water professionals, and others interested in this vital, and limited resource.
San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation Garden ...A place for our community
|
The WRI and several partners recently joined to build a Water Conservation Demonstration Garden on campus. This demonstration garden will re-introduce the community to the sights and fragrances that have been part of this area for thousands of years. It will encourage people to look to our past for answers about what will thrive in this climate, while harnessing the best water conserving technology that the present holds, to ensure a sustainable future. The garden is made possible by generations donations from the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District and the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden working in partnership with CSUSB and the WRI. Construction is expected to begin in fall of 2009 and be completed by the following spring, with an official opening in April or May of 2010. There are several opportunities for garden sponsorship. Call Susan Longville at (909) 537-7684 to set up an appointment to discuss how to become a partner. |
