To the Honorable, the Legislature:
This report summarizes and provides links to information on GCC and agency activities related to groundwater protection and management in FY 11 (July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011). The links also provide information on the condition of the groundwater resource. At the end of this report are the GCC's recommendations titled Directions for Future Groundwater Protection.
Highlights of the State's groundwater protection activities this past year include:
A496
• Research and monitoring contributing to our understanding of many groundwater issues including: nitrate, mercury methylation, biofuel cropping, antibiotics, climate change, water use, and fecal contamination.
• The Water Resources Library made considerable progress in providing full-text reports of UWS and DNR groundwater monitoring and research projects through the UW Ecology and Natural Resources Digital Collection.
We hope you will find this report to be a useful reference in protecting Wisconsin's valuable groundwater resource.
Sincerely,
Ken Johnson, Chair
Groundwater Coordinating Council
Referred to committee on Natural Resources.
