Real-world research that prepares Utah’s future leaders

Where Academic Study Meets Applied Research

Students conducting research at the Utah Water Research Laboratory are enrolled in degree programs across Utah State University including the College of Engineering, S.J. & Jessie E. Quinney College of Agriculture & Natural Resources, and the College of Arts & Sciences. Their coursework in fields such as civil and environmental engineering, watershed science, and data analytics provides the theoretical foundation that complements their applied work at the UWRL. By combining classroom learning with hands-on research, students gain both the technical expertise and the real-world experience needed to address pressing water and environmental challenges.

Student Opportunities

Graduate and undergraduate students actively contribute to applied research in water resources, hydraulics, and environmental engineering.
