More than sixty years ago, Wisconsinite Aldo Leopold sketched out an ethic for land conservation. Abundant in our state, fresh water has a special place in Wisconsin's ethos. Wisconsin's rich water law tradition and the history of progressive and collaborative efforts to protect water resources serve as a possible foundation to build upon Leopold's ethical principles and Wisconsin's public trust doctrine. How might our society balance the demand for water today by public and private, agricultural and industrial, rural and urban interests?
