The objective of Wisconsin Water Science Center
projects is to help cooperating agencies solve
practical water problems. Water issues that are
addressed by these projects include:
-
Water-quality
and -quantity assessments
-
Environmental
contamination site investigations
-
Effects of
toxic substances in natural waters
-
Effects of
rural and urban nonpoint pollution
-
Surface-water/ground-water
interactions
-
Sediment transport
and chemistry
-
Effects of
climate change
-
Effects of
acid precipitation
-
Wetland functions
and hydrology
-
Aquifer and
streamflow characterization
-
-
Effects of
droughts and floods
- National assessment of mercury
contamination of aquatic ecosystems
The Center's projects encompass
all hydrologic disciplines and related scientific
fields:
- Surface-water hydrology
- Ground-water hydrology
- Water chemistry
- Geology
