The Future

USU continues as a leader in bringing an interdisciplinary approach to water studies. More than ninety faculty members from departments in six of USU’s academic colleges are currently involved in water research, teaching, and extension. Each year the USU Water Initiative hosts the Spring Run-Off Conference, which “provides a forum for interdisciplinary sharing and exchange of ideas on water-related issues in Utah and the Intermountain Region.” Now, as then, water remains the life’s work of many at USU, even as it remains the life’s blood of Utah.
