The Earth's climate controls the availability of water for agricultural producers, energy providers, water suppliers, natural resource managers and others.  Examples of current climate and water research at SNR include:

• historical relationships between soil moisture and groundwater
• ways to improve streamflow measurements and drought forecasts
• using tracers to understand water flow and climate change effects
• historical geology and evolution of ground and surface water in the Nebraska Sand Hills and High Plains aquifers
• improved soil water and drought monitoring technologies
