Urban development, industrial expansion, increased tourism and climate change are placing significant pressure on water resources in Wisconsin and neighboring states. As we learn more about the interconnections between land uses and water resources, federal, state and local regulatory agencies are developing new programs to manage, protect and limit the use of those resources. Uses of property in a way that may affect groundwater, surface waters or wetlands require careful planning and compliance with an increasing maze of environmental and land use regulations.
