Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey
A part of UW-Madison’s Division of Extension, the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey provides reliable and objective scientific information about Wisconsin’s geology and groundwater. Its mission is: Understanding the earth, charting its history, sustaining its resources. This includes:

• Conducting earth-science surveys, field studies, and research.
• Providing objective scientific information about the geology, mineral resources, water resources, soil, and biology of Wisconsin.
• Collecting, interpreting, disseminating, and archiving natural resource information.
• Communicating the results of the Survey’s activities through publications, technical talks, and responses to inquiries from the public.

These activities support informed decision making by government, industry, business and individual citizens of Wisconsin.

Protecting WIsconsin’s Groundwater
The purpose of the Protecting WIsconsin’s Groundwater Through Comprehensive Planning website is to make Wisconsin groundwater information and data accessible and usable, thereby, encouraging government officials and planners to incorporate groundwater into their comprehensive planning processes. Comprehensive plans that adequately address the range of groundwater issues will play a very important role in protecting the groundwater resources of their communities and the state.
