The Summer Institute is a unique program which brings together graduate students, academic researchers, and National Water Center staff to work on projects designed to improve water-related products and decision-support services. Since the first Summer Institute in 2015, over 100 hundred students have participated in the program, which continues to play an important role in developing and refining the National Water Model.
