Groundwater
A Limited Resource
Municipal wells are going up all over and placement of these wells is very important in an effort to save our lakes.
In 2003, the Village and Town of Eagle and the Eagle Spring Lake Management District requested that the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) conduct a study which simulated shallow groundwater flow in the vicinity of the Village of Eagle, specifically evaluating the potential effects of two Village of Eagle high capacity municipal water supply wells that are developed in the shallow aquifer and that went into operation in 2004.
The analysis was a cooperative effort involving SEWRPC and the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS), University of Wisconsin-Extension. The study was funded by SEWRPC and the WGNHS.
