CTIWR Special Reports

Special Reports

40 Years of CTIWR: The Connecticut Institute of Water Resources is celebrating its' 40th anniversary. This article summarizes the "Special Reports," and describes how they reflect the changes in water resource issues in the state during this time.

Special Reports are publications that cover a wide range of water resources related material including scientific reports, conference proceedings and indexes of water resource related personnel and publications.A full text PDF version of each special report is available by clicking on the title.

The CTIWR would like to thank the Digital Collections Facilitation Team of the University of Connecticut Libraries for their help in making our Special Reoprts collection available on-line. Special thanks to Jonathan Nabe for making this collaborative effort possible.
