“Supporting water conservation efforts is one of the many ways Alliant Energy helps to strengthen the communities we serve,” said Amanda Blank, site manager for hydroelectric and gas generation at Alliant Energy. “If we use resources wisely and care for the environment, we can ensure natural resources like Lake Wisconsin remain healthy and safe for future generations to enjoy.”
Projects eligible for financial support include aquatic studies and research, water quality enhancement, and habitat mitigation and enhancement. Projects must be located between state Highway 12 and the tailrace of the Castle Rock Dam, including tributaries of the Wisconsin River such as the Baraboo River.
The River Alliance of Wisconsin, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will select the projects to receive grants and announce the awards in spring 2022. Requests should not exceed $50,000 per year for a maximum of two years. Conservation, river management groups, governmental units and educational institutions are eligible to apply.
