CWI was created in 2000 to provide education, research and analysis of policy issues involving water resources including water quality issues and integrated regional water management planning.

In the interest of advancing best water management practices, policy and technology, our staff also can provide support through special studies, facilitation services and partnerships to assist you with your water management goals. These including the following opportunities:

• Special Studies – The California Water Institute experts have provided support services to a number of State and local agencies. For examples of such efforts we direct you to our grants, reports and completed services catalog.
• Contract Services – The California Water Institute conducts special studies and third-party facilitation services on complex water issues using a fee-for-service contract to advance water policy and management activities. For examples of our work see our grants and reports catalog. For cost estimates of such work, please contact our administrative staff at the Institute main number so they can direct you to the appropriate expert.
