- The North Carolina State University (NCSU) Water Quality Group is a
multidisciplinary team that analyzes and conducts natural resource management
programs with an emphasis on nonpoint source (NPS) pollution policy,
assessment, and control technologies.
Since 1980, the group has been involved in water quality project evaluation,
watershed assessment, stream restoration, BMP implementation and education in
cooperation with USDA, US EPA, state and local agencies.
The mission of the NCSU Water Quality Group is to enhance NCSU's water quality
programs by acting as a center for water quality information and technical
assistance on natural resources and waste management, with an emphasis on NPS
pollution issues from agriculture, forestry, urban land uses, construction, and
on-site wastewater systems. The activities of the NCSU Water Quality Group
improve the effectiveness and increase the benefits derived from research and
extension efforts at North Carolina State University by facilitating
inter-departmental and inter-institutional cooperative efforts to understand
and address environmental problems.
