The connection between wetlands, streams, and floodplains and flood risk reduction is clear: in a healthy and well-connected state this natural infrastructure captures and reduces the energy and velocity of floods. New reports that summarize work done in the Marengo River Watershed demonstrate this connection.
Wisconsin’s Pre-Disaster Flood Resilience Grant Program is in the process of accepting its first round of applications—and WWA is encouraged by the high level of interest.
Last week WWA policy staff visited multiple built or planned flood risk reduction demonstration sites in Ashland County.
WWA works to help communities recognize how important wetlands are in helping manage water movement through our landscapes. But what do healthy, functional wetlands look like?
