This summer marks a key milestone for the University of Arizona Water Resources Research Center. On July 17, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Water Resources Research Act, which established the WRRC as the federally authorized Water Resources Research Institute for Arizona. This summer therefore marks the WRRC’s 60th Birthday!
Ten years ago, when the WRRC turned 50, we published a 50-year overview as an insert to our Spring 2014 newsletter. Along with much else, the insert included information on the backgrounds and priorities of the six individuals who led the WRRC during its first 50 years.
