Description of the Study Area
Chapter II DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA INTRODUCTION The water-resource and water-resource-related problems of a watershed, as well as the ultimate solutions to those problems, are a function of the human activities within the watershed and of the ability of the underlying natural resource base to sustain those activities. Regional water quality management planning seeks to rationally direct the future course of human actions within the watershed so as to promote the conservation and wise use of the natural resource base. Accordingly, the purpose of this chapter is to describe the natural resource base and the man-made features of the greater Milwaukee watersheds, thereby establishing a factual base upon which the regional water quality management planning process may proceed. This description of the study area is presented in two major sections: the first describes the man-made features; the second describes the natural resource base of the watersheds. REGIONAL AND WATERSHED SETTING OF THE PLANNING AREA The planning area encompasses the greater Milwaukee watersheds within Southeastern Wisconsin, which, as shown on Map 1 in Chapter I of this report, cover approximately 1,127 square miles. About 861 square miles of these watersheds are located within the seven-county Southeastern Wisconsin Region, representing about 32 per- cent of the Region. Within the region, these watersheds include all of the Kinnickinnic River, Menomonee River, Oak Creek, and Root River watersheds, portions of the Milwaukee River watershed, and lands directly tributary to Lake Michigan. In addition, approximately 266 square miles of the greater Milwaukee watersheds, or about 23.6 percent of the study area, are located outside of the Region.

Annual Report Welcome 2019
2019 ANNUAL REPORT WELCOME 2019 Dear Friends, Curiosity: It’s the driving force behind science, and it’s one of the founding emotions that shape humans’ interaction with the world. This year during the ninth annual Wisconsin Science Festival, more than 30,000 stoked their curiosity at more than 300 events statewide! Once again, hundreds of businesses, schools, universities, civic groups, libraries and museums joined together to make the festival a reality. Powered by the sponsors who make the festival financially possible, the festival’s reach included more cities and counties than ever before. Numbers, however, don’t adequately describe the impact that the festival’s grassroots network of partners have on Wisconsin. That story is illustrated by the faces of youth who experience STEM in ways they had never imagined before attending a festival expo, it unfolds during conversations between scientists and patrons at your local pub, and it continues to expand as we all explore the ways that science is everywhere in our lives. October 15, 2020, will kick off the tenth Wisconsin Science Festival. We can’t wait to keep writing that story of curiosity with you! Yours in curiosity, Laura Heisler Director, Wisconsin Science Festival Director of Programming, Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation Director of Outreach, Morgridge Institute for Research #WiSciFest | WiSciFest.org About the Wisconsin Science Festival The Wisconsin Science Festival is a statewide celebration of science, technology, engineering, art and math. With events encompassing hands-on science exhibitions, demonstrations, performances, pub nights, workshops and more, the festival truly offers something for everyone. We aim to inspire and engage everyone in the enterprise of science and discovery; to cultivate curiosity; to communicate the power of knowledge and creativity to change our world view; to promote innovation and to cultivate the next generation of global citizens.
