August 1999 Walking on waterTable of Contents Catching trout in crisp clear streams, shooting the rapids in a canoe or kayak, lazing around the lake in an inner tube, quenching your thirst on a hot summer day – none of these activities would be possible without groundwater. Unless you live in one of a few large cities in Wisconsin such as Green Bay or Milwaukee, the water you drink, use for washing, and enjoy for recreation comes from right below your feet. Groundwater is Wisconsin's invisible resource – our buried treasure. "Groundwater: Wisconsin's buried treasure" was first published in 1983 to educate citizens about the resource we use every day but can't see. In 1989, "Groundwater: Protecting Wisconsin's buried treasure" highlighted the actions state agencies and individuals were taking to safeguard groundwater. This revised edition of "Groundwater: Protecting Wisconsin's buried treasure" will introduce new protection programs, and remind us all that as Wisconsin citizens, we hold the ultimate responsibility for guarding our valuable groundwater resource. To order printed copies of "Groundwater: Protecting Wisconsin's buried treasure," send an email message to Laura Chern with your name, address and number of copies desired.
