The Yakima WATERS Project has four participating Central Washington University graduate programs - Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geological Sciences, and Resource Management. The interdisciplinary themes that comprise WATERS promote greater understanding of the central importance of watershed health across the region, and provide an ideal context for graduate fellows, mentors, and teachers to collaborate and conduct research.
