All the salt that we bring into Wisconsin leaves in our freshwater. The salt that is applied to roads, sidewalks, and placed in our water softeners is silently salting our surface and groundwater. Salt is cheap to buy, but the true cost of salt to freshwater, infrastructure, wildlife, and vegetation far outweighs its purchase price. […]
Is your community oversalting roadways and drinking water? What are the hidden costs of excessive salt use to our roads, bridges, vehicles, wildlife, human health, and freshwater resources? Learn from municipalities and a university that have adopted best winter maintenance practices to keep pavement safe, save money, and cut their addictions to salt. Register here.
Join Wisconsin Land+Water on June 23 from 9:00-10:00 a.m. to learn how salt ends up in our freshwater. Chloride concentrations are on the rise in both surface and groundwater. In response, several communities across the state are taking steps to become Salt Wise Champions and are cutting their salt use by 50%+. Our drinking water and freshwater […]
Streams throughout the U.S. and worldwide have increased in salinity due to multiple processes, including road salt and human-accelerated weathering of impervious surfaces, reductions in acid rain, and other anthropogenic legacies. This freshwater salinization, in turn, mobilizes chemical cocktails via ion exchange and other biogeochemical processes. This webinar will examine fate and transport of salts […]
Salt Symposium celebrates the minimization and optimization of salt use. We work with professionals from across industrial and economic sectors by examining state-of-the-art research developments and advanced best practices for reducing salt use.
