The mission of the Sustainable Water Management Research Unit (SWMRU) is to solve water quantity and quality issues in the Lower Mississippi River Basin to improve sustainable water use.  SWMRU aims to produce and communicate research directed at the conservation and sustainability of water resources for agriculture that include water-efficient cropping systems, improving water capture, improving water distribution systems and irrigation efficiencies, and developing water-saving irrigation management options.  SWMRU, along with Mississippi State University, operates the National Center for Alluvial Aquifer Research to conduct this research and develop economic risk assessment tools to enable producers to identify and implement profitable, water-efficient production options.
