Meeting the Source Assessment Requirement Under the RTCR: A Wisconsin Pilot Project
The goal of this project was to develop a sampling and testing algorithm to support the new site assessment requirements under the Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) consistent with the “find and fix” goals of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR).
Human Viruses as Tracers of Wastewater Pathways Into Deep Municipal Wells
Enteric viruses, because of their small size, have a high potential to move deeply through the subsurface environment, penetrate aquitards, and reach confined aquifers.

An Updated Springs Inventory for the State of Wisconsin
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.
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.
