<br />UA Water Sustainabihty Program Announces Water Research Awards
<br />The University of Arizona's Water Sustainability Program re-
<br />cently announced projects funded for FY 2006. Eight projects were
<br />selected out of 53 proposals submitted to the competitive grants
<br />program. WSP has $363,000 to fund new projects; along with these
<br />new projects, WSP is supporting 17 continuing projects.
<br />(The source of WSP funding was a November 2000 voter ap-
<br />proved increase in the state sales tax to support education. A por-
<br />tion of the amount went to the state's university system, to invest
<br />in technology and research -based initiatives. UA uses some of this
<br />funding for the WSP competitive grants program to support water
<br />research.)
