Celebrating WRI’s 60 years of archiving research

As the Water Resources Institute celebrates its 60th anniversary, there is an additional reason to celebrate. Since its founding in 1964, WRI has invested in more than 450 projects that address issues facing the water resources of Wisconsin. The project results are captured in the digital Groundwater Project Repository. Here are some projects from the early days.
