Herbicide and nitrate movement in a sandy soil aquifer in the Lower Wisconsin River Valley
The purpose of this project was to investigate the fate and transport of pesticides and nitrate in a sandy soil-landscape along the Lower Wisconsin River Valley (LWRV). This project was a c...
Describing Connected Fracture Flow with Pressure Waves – Oscillating Flow Interference Testing
The state of Wisconsin is blessed with abundant groundwater resources resulting from the thick, high-porosity and high-permeability sedimentary aquifers that underlie the state, as well as the humid climate it experiences.
Using the New Rome Formation as a Geologic Weighing Lysimeter for Water Management in Wisconsin’s Sand Plain
This project tested the concept of using geologic weighing lysimeters (GWLs) to estimate components of the water balance in parts of Wisconsin’s central sand plain where the New Rome Formation (NRF), a regional aquitard, occurs.
Subsurface Fate and Transport of Cryptosporidium in Soils of Wisconsin’s Carbonate Aquifer Region
Cryptosporidium parvum is a waterborne pathogen that has been demonstrated to have a significant reservoir in cattle manure. As agriculture in Wisconsin is famous for its dairy industry, there are approximately 1.3 million dairy cows in Wisconsin in addition to about 250,000 beef cattle.
Opportunities for Reducing Water Use by Wisconsin Golf Courses
The original proposal outlined a plan to survey gold course in Wisconsin regarding their water use, identify opportunities for improving water use efficiency from the survey data, and then conduct detailed water use analysis of four golf courses.
