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 […]

The Discovery Farms Annual Conference is back. This year we will utilize our robust dataset from water quality monitoring over the last 20 years to assess tradeoffs of on-farm management decisions. Mitigating risk to water quality might look different on every farm but every farm has areas that can be improved. Join us for this one-day event […]
How’s My Waterway has added several new features over the past year that will be featured in this webcast. Communities use How’s My Waterway to learn about their watershed. When a watershed is shown to have pollution or other issues, it inspires people to get involved to protect and restore their waterways. By displaying all […]
The Producer-Led Watershed Protection Grants Annual Workshop is for Producer-Led grant recipients throughout the state to network, brainstorm, share success stories and learn from each other on what works and hasn’t in their watershed projects. This year, we will highlight topics including the financials of soil health systems and examples of conservation partnerships, in addition […]
