State scientists keep water flow grounded
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (6/16)
A new study is among the first to show the historical connection of climate and agricultural practices on groundwater flow, and could have important implications on the ecology of the Wisconsin’s river systems.

Great Lakes Restoration and the Threat of Global Warming
Healing Our Waters® - Great Lakes Coalition (6/9)
A new report examines the impacts global warming will likely have on the Great Lakes —from more sewage overflows to lower lake levels.
