The University of Leeds, the fifth largest university in the U.K., is research focused and includes an interdisciplinary center called "Water@Leeds" (www.wateratleeds.org).
NGRREC invited the Leeds scientists to an informal lunch, tour and information exchange at the Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station, here the staffs of the two centers engaged in a lively discussion and came away with a better understanding of the way water is approached in the two countries as well as ideas for future international collaboration.
