When Surface Water Becomes Groundwater By Disappearing

Disappearing lakes.

Dry streams.

Falling property values.

Our state's groundwater legal protections need strengthening, as this Wisconsin State Journal Sunday story explains.

We still take our water resources for granted.

That's evidenced by the state's inability to implement substantial water conservation measures, the DNR's lack of aggressive enforcement, and the legislature's unwillingness to adopt the pending Great Lakes Compact, a regional water management plan.
