Nelson Institute Environmental Forum

NELSON INSTITUTE COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL FORUM

Water levels in the Yahara Lakes are heavily influenced by a number of physical factors, both natural (precipitation,
groundwater levels) and human-made (paved surfaces, bridges, dams and other land uses). This forum will explore
the complex river system that includes the Yahara Lakes and examine how it responds to these influences.
Forums are FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
