The International Center for Arid and Semiarid Lands Studies (ICASALS) was founded in 1966 at Texas Tech University to foster interdisciplinary research and education concerned with improving the quality of life in arid and semiarid regions of the world. At the present time, ICASALS activities are focused on water resources and water related topics. These are important issues not only to the area where Texas Tech is located, but also in the western Great Plains and many other regions in the U.S. and the world. The economic development of arid and semiarid lands is closely related to the availability of water resources. Drylands are a special type of sparsely populated areas that are generally dependent on government programs and subsidies. Therefore, it is critical that any proposed development program for these areas be designed by specialists with a broad understanding of arid and semiarid lands to minimize the chance of failure that would represent an additional burden to government resources. More than 50 percent of the State of Texas, approximately one-third of the United States, and one-third of the earth’s land surface are classified as arid or semiarid. Being situated in a semiarid region of the United States, adjacent to arid regions and an international border, Texas Tech University is ideally suited for arid and semiarid research activities. ICASALS provides the unique ties that bind nations and people in the arid and semiarid areas of the world.
