Maintaining and Improving Water Quality
It is widely recognized in the scientific community that to advance in our understanding of the complx problems that are at the heart of freshwater issues, a multi-disciplinary approach is needed – the trasitional model of studying water issues from the perspective of single scientific discipline is no longer germane (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 2003; National Research Council, 2000).
To meet this challenge, the Milwaukee 7 Water Council will adopt the goals set forth by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Freshwater Science as its four foundation pillars for its project aimed at maintaining and improving water quality:
- System Dynamics – Health and Sustainability – Freshwater Technology – Policy and Management

| Project Summary | To prioritize, implement and monitor the consequence of a number of integrated sub-projects that make a difference in water quality in the City of Milwaukee and the surrounding region. |
| Themes | |
|---|---|
| Global Compact Principle | Environment (What is this?) |
| Issues Project is Seeking to Address | Water quality, sanitation, technology development, applied research, industry investment. |
| Planned Actions | To develop and implement a number of sub-projects including: |
| Desired Outcomes | To better understand the processes related to freshwater systems dynamics. To study the environmental health continuum that links the health of freshwater environments with human population health. To develop and create technologies that will create a sustainable freshwater infrastructure and supplies as well as improve human and environmental health. To develop a policy and management program aimed at balancing the protection and utilization of freshwater. |
