Enteric viruses, because of their small size, have a high potential to move deeply through the subsurface environment, penetrate aquitards, and reach confined aquifers.

This report documents data and information gathering efforts for 2013 through 2015 that support groundwater management activities in the Wisconsin central sands.

The need to protect watersheds from fecal contamination has led to an investigation of monitoring toolsto supplement coliform/E. coli measurements. A suite or toolbox of tests developed to s...

This project directly addressed the need for comprehensive and widespread information on spring hydrology in Wisconsin to assess impacts of high-capacity wells on spring flow rates and to characterize the susceptibility of certain spring types to impacts as a result of groundwater drawdown.

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.

Culture-based microbiology methods have been used to determine potability of drinking water since the beginning of the 20th century. The detection of coliform bacteria in well water is an indicator of potential human fecal contamination and therefore the possible presence of disease causing organisms.
