water resources or center in each of the
50 states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,

the 54 institutes submits an annual
application for an allotment grant and
provides an annual report on its
activities under the grant. The State
Water Resources Research Institute
Program issues an annual call for
applications from the institutes to
support plans to promote research,
training, information dissemination, and
other activities meeting the needs of the
States and Nation. The program also
encourages regional cooperation among
institutes in research into areas of water
management, development, and
conservation that have a regional or
national character. The U.S. Geological
Survey has been designated as the
administrator of the provisions of the
Act.
