Center for Research on Environment and Water

Help improve water cycle predictions and develop critical water solutions

Consequences of climate change are realized through the water cycle. Water is vital for life and livelihood and is a fundamental basis of life on Earth affecting climate, pollution, food, human habitation, human conflict and more.

The Center for Research on Environment & Water's end to end program requires that research is driven by needs for society. CREW seeks donations from concerned individuals and organizations throughout the world to supplement their grants. Unrestricted gifts to CREW allow the use of these funds to be utilized where most needed in global water cycle research.

The Institute of Global Environment & Society, Inc. (IGES) is a private, non-profit, charitable (Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3)) organization that exists in large measure thanks to the financial support of concerned individuals and organizations throughout the world.

"CREW has great potential to revolutionize not only the way research is conducted on the planet's essential and ever scarcer water resources, but also to make fundamental contributions to our understqanding of the global hydrological cycle and its role in Earth's changing climate," said J. Shulka, IGES President.

CREW's research integrates across traditional disciplines to develop an end-to-end program that transitions theoretical research to academic/public education and real-world applications, through partnerships with universities, the government and international agencies.
