The Ohio River
Basin Consortium for Research and Education is an association of
universities, colleges, governmental agencies, industries, and
individuals. The Consortium’s mission is to promote inter-institutional
research, education and information exchange in water-related concerns and
other environmental issues in the Ohio River Basin. The Consortium,
non-profited, tax-exempted, and incorporated, has operated since 1985.
A foundation has been established for receiving and administering endowments
to promote the Consortium’s goals since 1993.
Many water and related
environmental problems within the Ohio River Basin require the cooperation of
governmental agencies, universities, industries, and concerned
citizens. The Consortium provides a mechanism for communication and cooperation
among its members in addressing current water-related or environmental issues
and helps stimulate better solutions.
