Assessing Groundwater Quality in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin, and Characterizing the Timing and Variability of Enteric Pathogen Contamination within the Dolomite Aquifer in Northeastern Wisconsin

Documentation of two studies looking at the Silurian dolomite aquifer in northeastern Wisconsin. Researchers quantified the extent of contamination from coliform bacteria, E. coli, and nitrate in Kewaunee County’s private wells. They also examined how wastewater from septic systems and livestock manure interact with environmental conditions and geology...

Pleistocene Geology of Kewaunee County, Wisconsin

Kewaunee County, at the southern end of the Door Peninsula, was overrun by glaciers many times. Author Lee Clayton describes the county's complex glacial geology, from the surface soil down to solid rock. The accompanying map shows the placement of glacial sediments as well as glacial and post-glacial stream and lake sediments.
