NRIAI Technical Resources

The Natural Resources Inventory and Analysis Institute (NRIAI) was created to improve the NRCS's ability to inventory, monitor, and assess status and trends of our nation's natural and environmental resources.  As such, 99% of what we do is developing NRCS Technical Resources.
