DNR announces new tool for monitoring water quality

MADISON, Wis. -- A new water tool has been rolled out by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

The Wisconsin Water Explorer is a web-based tool which can help Wisconsin residents raise concerns about the quality of water in their local lakes or rivers.

DNR said the Water Explorer makes scientific data analysis accessible to the public by modernizing the process of finding and analyzing data.

The tool also combines several water quality tools into one platform. For example, Citizen Lake Monitoring Network volunteers can now access and share automated annual reports summarizing data from their respective lakes.

The new tool is available on the Wisconsin Water Explorer website.

Interested parties are encouraged to join the DNR's Citizen Lake Monitoring Network or water action volunteers or to reach out to their local quality biologist.

Additional information can be found on the Water Quality Bureau's Surface Water website.
