Welcome to the Centre for Water Resources Studies information page. CWRS was established in 1981. The objectives of CWRS are to apply the research resources of Dalhousie University in a manner that will address real problems in water resources that exist or are anticipated in Nova Scotia and the Atlantic region; to continue and expand the University's contribution to the national and international pool of knowledge about water resources; and to transfer the results of the research both at the University and elsewhere to the engineering community in Nova Scotia and the Atlantic Provinces.
