Water Law Challenges and Opportunities 2023

Product ID: CA3467D
Presented By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE

Water, water everywhere

With more than 15,000 lakes, 32,000 rivers and streams, and shorelines on two Great Lakes, Wisconsin is a water rich state. The Badger State draws on its water resources for agriculture, recreation, industry, drinking water, and countless other uses. But while water is plentiful today, managing our water resources for future generations presents several challenges.

At Water Law Challenges and Opportunities, you’ll get an in-depth look at the most pressing issues Wisconsin is facing when it comes to water management, including:

  • Balancing residential and commercial developments with public access to waterfronts, particularly in the areas of historic lakebed fill
  • New regulations for the protection and usage of shoreland and wetland areas in Wisconsin
  • Plans for the management of emerging contaminants such as PFAS
