About the Waters of Wisconsin Forum

Water is a vital resource for all living things in our state—but Wisconsin currently lacks a comprehensive, long-term water policy. The Waters of Wisconsin initiative of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters has been working for the past two years with experts from all sides of water use and conservation. At the statewide public forum, these experts will come together with the general public to discuss these challenges and to evaluate a formal report, guidelines, and policy recommendations. Participants also will celebrate water as we enjoy it in all aspects of our lives through fieldtrips, poetry and art.

Please join us on October 21-22, 2002 at the Monona Terrace Convention Center in Madison for a solution-oriented discussion about a resource that is vital to all of us! For more information about Waters of Wisconsin, visit www.wisconsinacademy.org.
