CWPRS are able to provide hydraulically sound and economically viable solutions to various problems associated with projects on water resources, energy and water-borne transport including coastal and harbour engineering. CWPRS also collaborates with other organisations like WAPCOS and educational and research institutions to complement its activities. Thanks to the Government of India's financial support, CWPRS has been able to keep pace with the rapid advancements in hydraulic research by way of updating its facilities and expertise. As the Regional Laboratory of ESCAP since 1971, CWPRS has offered its services to a number of projects in the neighbourhood as well as countries in Middle East and Africa.since 1971, CWPRS has offered its services to a number of projects in the neighbourhood as well as countries in Middle East and Africa
The current mandate of the institution encompasses undertaking specific research studies supported by necessary basic research to comprehensively offer R&D support to a variety of projects dealing with irrigation, power and water-borne transport; offering consultancy and advisory services to the government within the sphere of its activities; disseminating expertise and research findings amongst hydraulic research fraternity; collaborating research activities with various institutions and carrying out training of research manpower.
Having completed ninety years of service, CWPRS reaffirms its motto "Service Through Research" and looks forward to be of continued service to the Nation.
