Trends in ground-water levels in Wisconsin through 1966

The water supplies of Wisconsin are the State's most valuable natural resource. Although the State has abundant water supplies to maintain the perennial flow of most streams, and to sustain large increases in municipal, agricultural, and industrial use in many areas, the available supply is not distributed equally throughout the State, either areally or in time. Intelligent development of all water resources depends on knowledge of the occurrence, distribution and movement of water, the amount of discharge to and from a region, the interrelationship of ground and surface water, and the quantity and quality of the water available.

Ground water in Wisconsin

The purpose of this report is to describe in general the occurrence, source, movement, and use of ground water in Wisconsin in order that present problems of ground-water development may be understood and to point out the need for study and evaluation of the potential ground water available. Areas with specific problems are described as are other areas that are used as examples. For the sake of brevity complete reports of studies completed or under way are not included, but the general results of such studies are the basis for the report.

Some effects of preciptiation on ground water in Wisconsin

The importance of our water supplies has become increasingly apparent to most of us in recent years. The importance of water was forcefully dramatized by the water shortage in New York City in 1950. In nearly every State in the Union, one or more communities now has or has had a water problem whose effect on the citizens has been no less to them as was the one in New York City to New Yorkers. The increasing numbers of these problems have led to widespread speculation as to the adequacy of the Nation' s water supplies.
