Description

Fresh water is one of Wisconsin’s most valuable natural resources, especially as states across the country deal with historic shortages and costs.

The Wisconsin Policy Forum, a statewide, nonpartisan policy research organization, recently released a report showing that Wisconsin’s water usage has actually gone down. Tyler Byrnes authored the report and he spoke with WORT News Producer Faye Parks this afternoon to outline the benefits and challenges that come with decreased water usage.
