Water Quality
Arkansas is a water rich state but has its share of polluted waterways. We offer further understanding of federal and state water policy.
Water quality is everyone's responsibilityArkansas Public Policy Center
The Public Policy Center exists to provide Arkansans with research-based information and education about public issues. Public issues are defined as pressing and emerging issues that involve multiple points of view and have widespread consequences.
Our goals are to:
- Increase citizen knowledge, awareness and understanding of public issues
- Enhance public participation in decisions regarding public issues
- Help citizens craft, evaluate and implement alternative solutions to public issues

Faculty and Staff
The Public Policy Center was established in 2004 by the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture to provide research-based, non-partisan analyses and evaluation of public policy issues. The Center's goal isn't to tell citizens what to think, but rather to increase their knowledge and awareness of public issues and participation in decisions regarding those issues.
