Appointed by Gov. Tony Evers in 2019, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Secretary Preston Cole was earlier a longtime member of the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board.
Water is something most Americans take for granted, but events like the tragedy in Flint, Michigan, are only a part of why we should all be more mindful of our water supply. The 2021 Water@UW-Madison Symposiumâs theme is â
Opportunities in a Changing World,â and it will focus on state-level action plans surrounding climate change, PFAS, and even COVID-19. This annual event is free and open to the public.

Arsenic is more common in wells near fractured bedrock in southeastern Wisconsin
Wells located near ancient folds and fractures in the bedrock beneath southeastern Wisconsin are more likely to contain arsenic, a dangerous contaminant in drinking water, according to research just published by the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey.
The findings come from an ongoing survey of the extent and causes of arsenic contamination in groundwater in eastern Wisconsin. By better predicting where arsenic will be found, the project could help municipalities and private well owners relocate or redesign wells or prepare to filter out the arsenic, which can cause cancer if ingested over time.
