CITY OF MADISON: INFOS for Wingra BMP

Purpose

The City of Madison will assess turbidity in Lake Wingra using a variety of methods to prioritize the three major sources: carp activity, wind, and external storm event loading. This will allow lake managers to determine optimal management actions to improve water clarity. They will create a watershed model to divide the watershed into sub-basins to determine loadings and discharges for each sub-basin. This will allow identification of critical site areas that need to be remediated. A final report and raw data will be provided to DNR.
