Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Wisconsin River Basin lies in central Wisconsin. It drains approximately 12,000 square miles (31,080 square kilometers - sq km) or nearly 21 percent of the State. Its length is about 220 miles (350 km) in a north-south direction and 55 miles (90 km) wide in an east-west direction. The Wisconsin River rises near the Wisconsin-Michigan border at Lac Vieux Desert. It flows for about 430 miles (690 km) through the center of the State and empties into the Mississippi River south of Prairie du Chien. About 96 percent of the Basin's land and water areas are in the State of Wisconsin and 4 percent in the State of Michigan. The objectives of the Wisconsin River Basin cooperative study were to identify and appraise land, water, and related resource problems and needs, and to suggest potential solutions that can be implemented by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other Federal, State, and local agencies under existing authorities. Data developed during the study will be useful to State and local governments, soil and water conservation districts, watershed associations, planning commissions, and other local groups. The Wisconsin Board of Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the local soil and water conservation districts will use the results of this study in developing their respective plans of work. This report provides information useful to both State and Federal agencies and officials in setting priorities for resource development projects. The USDA will use the information as a basis for assisting State and local organizations in the development, conservation, and preservation of the Basin's resources. The information will also be directly useful to other programs and studies concerned with the Basin's land and water resources.
