Protecting Wisconsin's Groundwater Through Comprehensive Planning
go to website »
This website makes Wisconsin groundwater information and data accessible and usable, thereby encouraging government officials and planners to incorporate groundwater into their comprehensive-planning processes.
The website provides summaries of, and access to, data and information on geology, general hydrology, and groundwater quantity and quality generated by state, local, federal, and independent sources. |
Ground Water Watch, a network of the National Water Information System (NWIS). Data can be viewed in Google Earth format.

Ground Water Watch
go to website »
The U.S. Geological Survey in Wisconsin collects ground-water data at about 150 wells throught the state. Ground-water data is collected from these wells in the field and loaded into 3 USGS ground-water data networks in Ground Water Watch. This provides all USGS ground-water data that are approved for public release.
The national ground-water database contains records from about 850,000 wells that have been compiled during the course of ground-water hydrology studies over the past 100 years. |

Ground Water in the Great Lakes Basin: the Case of Southeastern Wisconsin
go to website »
Important efforts are now underway to protect all the water resources of the Great Lakes Basin. The objective of this Web site is to support those efforts and to improve our understanding of ground-water flow in relation to the Great Lakes.
The information on this site is organized in two main parts. The first is a summary of the concepts that govern ground-water flow and ground-water/surface-water interactions. The second part includes details of a case study of a region bordering Lake Michigan that describes the ground-water-flow system and quantifies the relation between ground water and the Lake. |

Trout Lake WEBB
go to website »
The USGS Water, Energy, and Biogeochemical Budgets (WEBB) program emphasizes long-term field investigations of interactions and cycles of water, energy, gases, nutrients, and vegetation.
The Trout Lake WEBB site is located in the Northern Highland area of north-central Wisconsin. The site includes five open lakes and two bog lakes. It is also the site of the NSF-sponsored North Temperate Lakes Long-Term Ecological Research (NTL/LTER) project, which has been ongoing since 1980 under the direction of the Center for Limnology, University of Wisconsin-Madison. |
