AWRC Moves to Tyson Agriculture Research Center

The Arkansas Water Resources Center, including its water quality lab, is moving to the state-of-the-art Don Tyson Center for Agricultural Sciences early next month. The new address is 1371 W Altheimer Drive in Fayetteville. The lab will be open from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm for water sample drop-off and analysis.

The AWRC operates a fee-based public water quality lab where anyone can ship or drop off a water sample for analysis. The Lab is certified by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality for nutrients, sediments, metals, bacteria, and more.

The Lab also offers several analytical “packages” aimed at helping farmers, agricultural producers, and the general public understand the quality of their water for a specific use. The Lab has packages for irrigation, livestock, poultry, aquaculture, domestic, environmental, and a complete package that includes nearly everything we offer.

For those who aren’t sure what to do with the results once you get them, the lab has you covered. Fact sheets are available online and provide information to compare test results with values that indicate good or acceptable water quality.
