Sixth Caribbean Islands Water Resources Congress

The Sixth Caribbean Islands Water Resources Congress was held in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico during February, 2001.

The wide range of topics included in the Congress is a representative sample of the research and development efforts done by Universities, Federal and Local Government Agencies and private companies. Watershed management, water quality treatment, surface and groundwater quantity and quality studies and extreme hydrologic events are a representative example of the extent of scientific and engineering areas found in the tropics. Emerging methodologies and techniques, as well as, the fulfillment of new regulations, require that the environmental and water resources community be updated. The PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTH CARIBBEAN ISLANDS WATER RESOURCES CONGRESS is a modest but important contribution to this goal.


Information and Technology Transfer

Information and Technology Transfer (ITT) is a vital component of the PRWRERI. ITT activities at the Institute consist of the Professional Development Center (PDC), short courses in collaboration with faculty from US and local universities, and conferences and talks to school, inteested groups, and general public. The PDC issues continuing education credits for in-training and professional engineers.
