In this short paper, selected water quality problems and the research efforts aimed at their solution supported under P. L. 88–379 (the Water Resources Research Act of 1964) at State Water Research Centers are presented. The water quality problems and associated research efforts presented are not necessarily of high priority with respect to the national needs for water quality knowledge; rather, the problems and research discussed are presented as typical of local or regional situations and as examples of the awareness of State Water Resources Research Centers to the local or regional needs for improving water quality management. Selected water quality problems associated with urban‐ ization, modern agriculture, industry, recreation, and natural environments are discussed with respect to the needs for new knowledge leading to improved management of water resources. Selected Water Resources Research Centers' projects with the objectives of discovering some of that new knowledge are discussed with respect to the research approach adopted by the investigators.
