January’s edition of The Current featured Ken Bradbury, Wisconsin State Geologist and Director of the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, as he discussed the newly released National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) report on future water resource priorities. Bradbury served on the consensus committee, and their report, titled, “Future Water Priorities for the Nation”, which provides guidance to the USGS Water Mission Area on the most critical water resources challenges facing society in the next 25 years.
