It’s Official, the AWRC Lab Moved to New State of the Art Research Facility!

The Arkansas Water Resources Center Water Quality Lab moved to the new Don Tyson Center for Agricultural Sciences at 1371 W Altheimer Drive in Fayetteville, room 133. This state-of-the art research facility is just a stones throw away from the old location at the Biomass Research Center, and is still located off of Garland Avenue, or Highway 112.

The AWRC operates a fee-based public water quality lab where anyone can ship or drop off a water sample for analysis. The lab will be open from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm for water sample drop-off and 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.
