Water Protection

Fighting for Clean Water

Everyone deserves clean, safe water. From protecting drinking water from lead, PFAS and nitrate contamination to defending our state’s critical wetlands, we are the leader in protecting Wisconsin’s critical water resources.

Water Issues in Wisconsin

Industrial manufacturing, food processing and agricultural production are all significant contributors to the water quality issues we face in Wisconsin. Clean Wisconsin is working at every turn to identify, remediate, and eradicate these contaminants wherever possible.

Farming for the Future

For decades, farmers in Wisconsin have produced abundant food and fuel for the world. But today, we are seeing the great environmental harm that has been brought by many conventional agricultural practices. That’s why Clean Wisconsin is working with farmers to chart a new course for our food system that will reverse the decline of our precious water resources, rebuild soil health, and address the challenges posed by climate change.

Water Contamination in Wisconsin

Contaminants like PFAS, nitrate, neonicotinoids and more have caused issues for Wisconsinites in every corner of the state. The Water Quality Reports with district maps below provide a snapshot of the issues and resources within each Congressional and State Senate District to help Wisconsin legislators and Wisconsinites better understand drinking water contamination issues, the total size of aquatic resources in the area (miles of rivers, acres of lakes and wetlands, etc.), quality of aquatic resources, the percentage of residents who rely on private wells for their drinking water, and more.
