Pewaukee River Partnership Inc.

Spring is finally arriving in Pewaukee! We had a very wet snowstorm (7 inches) as recently as April 11th. However, the weather has slowly become warmer with a number of rainy days. This has affected the start of the 2007 Pewaukee River Monitoring Project. High, swiftly-moving water makes it dangerous to monitor in many of the sites. Even so, two of the teams were able to start already in April.
The official PRP monitoring months are May through October. PRP Monitors check six sites on the Pewaukee River as well as four more sites on Coco Creek, Zion Creek and Meadowbrook Creek. The data they collect is entered into the statewide database for all Wisconsin streams and rivers. This information will be used by the State as well as PRP when designing future programs.
