“California Water is Over-Plumbed: What are the Lessons for Wisconsin?” will be presented by George J. Kraft at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 1, at the Waupaca Area Public Library.
The free presentation is the final program in the Summer Series sponsored by Winchester Academy of Waupaca.
Kraft is a professor of water resources and director for Watershed Science and Education at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP). He received his doctorate in soil science and geology from UW-Madison.
The California drought of 2011-2016 had enormous impacts for its water users and the state’s fish and wildlife. Like a Pentagon general who needed to see the front lines first-hand, Kraft arranged for a tour and study of the California water condition during the summer of 2015. This tour in turn influenced Kraft’s thinking about the future of Wisconsin waters.
