About the Center
The Water Research and Extension Center within the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (DASNR) focuses efforts for sustaining Oklahoma’s agriculture water supply, which is crucial to the state’s economy and the health and well-being of residents and the environment.
Rising input costs for crop and animal production has stimulated new interest in water conservation measures that include improved soil management practices, irrigation methods and efficiency on farm water storage, transport of water, and overall economic assessment of agricultural enterprises to manage existing water supplies more prudently. Development of management practices to use municipal waste water and waste water effluent in agricultural production systems is underway.
Our efforts are spread throughout the Division's research and extension programs and academic departments. The Center serves as a focal point for all of the Division’s water research and extension activities.The Center enables DASNR to gain prominence within Oklahoma and an international reputation for excellence for mission-oriented research that informs effective practice.
