Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest Water Quality Database

The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (CNNF) in northern Wisconsin contains numerous groundwater-dependent water resources that may be vulnerable to potential effects of land development, mining, and climate change. In order to monitor water quality over time, 138 of the lakes, streams, wetlands, spring ponds, springs, and wells were sampled in...

Characterization of Groundwater Resources in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin

Results of a comprehensive review and analysis of groundwater resources in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The study was divided by location into four reports corresponding to the four main land units: Medford, Nicolet, Park Falls, and Washburn/Great Divide. Each report describes the results of the inventory, modeling, and analysis.
