The National Water Program creates and disseminates knowledge that insures a safe and reliable source of water of the appropriate quality to meet the needs of:

Food and fiber production,
Human health, use, and economic growth, and
Maintenance and protection of natural environmental systems

throughout the United States and its territories. Research, education, and extension programs are our avenue to protect and improve water resources in agricultural, rural, and urbanizing watersheds.
