DNR wants public input on condition of WI waters
Residents statewide are encouraged by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to submit data they have personally collected about Wisconsin waterways that will be used to identify waters failing to meet water quality standards.
Information can be submitted now through December 31, 2010 that will help the DNR compile a list of the state’s impaired waters as part of the biennial water quality report required by Congress. The DNR reports about 1,000 lake volunteers and another 2,000 stream volunteers are actively involved in water monitoring programs.
The goal is to help state officials pinpoint lakes and rivers in need of clean-up and allocate scarce resources to those areas.
