Strategies for Rainwater Infiltration to Recharge Our Limited Shallow Aquifer
This project aims to explore effective methods for rainwater infiltration across 265 acres to enhance the recharge of the shallow aquifer. With the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission identifying a critical water shortage across the county, this initiative seeks to address the limited water availability. However, it faces challenges such as land acquisition difficulties, insufficient recharge capacity in certain areas, and inefficacy during drought periods. The project emphasizes sustainable practices to combat these risks and improve water resource management.
