The Pacific Northwest program works to improve water quality management through educational knowledge and extension programming that emerges from a research base. The Land Grant Universities throughout the Pacific Northwest, Water Research Institutes, and EPA Region 10 have formed a partnership to provide research and education to northwest communities about protecting or restoring the quality of water resources. This partnership is being supported in part by the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA).
