Founding Partners

As the Water Resources Institute was getting started in 1999 and 2000, a number of local water agencies offered to support the WRI financially, providing seed money to recruit a director, to plan and hold our first annual conference, and for other critical programmatic needs.  Since that time, other local agencies have joined our original "Founding Partners."

The Water Resources Institute and Cal State , San Bernardino would like to express our sincere thanks to our Founding Partners for their support and for their confidence in us and in our programs.

Founding Partners receive several benefits for their gifts.  For information on becoming a Founding Partner of the Water Resources Institute, contact Director Susan Lien Longville at slongvil@csusb.edu .

  Six water agencies have each made five-year pledges to the WRI to provide unrestricted financial support for the WRI's programs.  At the end of the five-year period, they will have donated nearly half a million dollars to the WRI.  These agencies are:

1. San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, San Bernardino
2. Inland Empire Utilities Agency, Chino
3. East Valley Water District, San Bernardino
4. Cucamonga Valley Water District, Rancho Cucamonga
5. West Valley County Water District, Rialto
