Water @ UW-Madison
UW-Madison hosts a stunningly wide range of research, educational, and outreach activities related to water and water resources. These activities are distributed across the UW-Madison campus and beyond. Although there are many bridges between faculty, staff, and students with water interests, there is no formal coordination of activities. In response, this website was launched in late 2012.

Groundwater Contaminants
Information about the occurrence of different substances found in groundwater and their impacts to human and environmental health are ongoing subjects of research.
