Capabilities and Services
The California Water Institute offers a wide range of services — from applied research and special studies, to grant support and professional facilitation — enabling agencies, organizations, and community partners to tackle California’s water-resource challenges with expert-backed solutions. Through these services, CWI mobilizes its faculty, staff, and students to support sustainable water management across the state.
CWI staff, Faculty Fellows, and students are a synergistic group of academics that lead facilitation efforts and conduct applied research that fulfills CWI’s mission, often partnering with community-based organizations and public agencies.
Examples of CWI services include:
Special Studies
CWI directs the work of Fresno State faculty and students to complete special studies that support the work of a number of State and local agencies.
Grants
CWI supports the work of campus researchers through grant writing and administration.
Facilitation Services
CWI also conducts third-party facilitation services using a fee-for-service contract through the Fresno State Foundation.
