RIVER ALLIANCE OF WISCONSIN: Study of LWR Floodplain Lakes Sauk Co
The River Alliance of Wisconsin will monitor nine floodplain lakes associated with the Lower Wisconsin River to establish baseline nutrient information and help provide information needed to reduce threats to both human health and water quality of these lakes. The data will be compared with private drinking water data and estimated watershed inputs. The analysis will produce management strategies for reducing nutrient inputs to groundwater and lakes, set nutrient targets, and include sociological and educational components. Outreach efforts will include numerous partners, including a local citizens committee, River Alliance, DATCP, DNR, Sauk County, the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway Board, Friends of the Lower Wisconsin River and the Town of Spring Green.
