Stormwater Working Group

Recent analysis of historical data, combined with climate model downscaling, suggest that the southern Wisconsin precipitation events of 2008 are part of a trend toward wetter conditions and more intense rainfall. Climate models also suggest that increased winter snow pack, and late winter rainfall, may result in high regional groundwater tables and lake levels, and saturated soil conditions.

Wisconsin’s cities and towns must also change how they manage their water resources if they are to adapt to the increases in rainfall and groundwater elevation we are already seeing. The Stormwater Working Group has brought together Wisconsin water resource managers to find ways to reduce risk to our communities and improve our stormwater management infrastructure.
