WERI is also a member of the local water resource interagency organization called the Technical Experts Group (TEG) and the Groundwater Resource Development Group (GWRDG). The GHS and CWMP mandate requires interagency collaboration and cooperation, as written, “establish a direct working relationship with each organization collecting hydrologic data important to Guam, and maintain a permanent flow of new data from each organization to keep the data library up to date.” Attending local government and federal agencies are Guam Waterworks Authority, Guam Environmental Protection Agency, CUC, US Navy (NAVFAC, Marianas), USAF (CES), and USGS. Our interagency groups also include private consultants: Duenas Camacho and Associates, Allied Pacific Environmental Consultant (APEC), EA Engineering, Brown and Caldwell, and AECOM. Meetings are organized and held quarterly at Guam Waterworks Authority (Gloria B. Nelson Public Service Building), Fadian. Current discussion is the expansion of monitoring (observation) wells, see details in CWMP Research Projects section.

P.L. 24-161 – Section 2. Comprehensive Water Monitoring Program. 
Henceforth, the Water and Energy Resource Institute (“WERI”) of the University of Guam shall conduct and administer a Comprehensive Monitoring Program regarding data collection on salt water intrusion, water lens thickness in the northern part of Guam, stream flow data in the southern part of Guam and related matters. Said program shall be administered in conjunction with the United States Geological Survey (“USGS”) and monitoring program.
