In February 2023, the Center for Water Policy co-hosted a statewide conference to evaluate a decade of research and experience implementing Wisconsin鈥檚 phosphorus rules and their impact on water quality. We are helping to shape future phosphorus research and policy in Wisconsin! In an ongoing collaboration between Freshwater Collaborative Water Policy Network researchers, policy experts, state agencies, and nonprofits, we produced a 聽that contains an academic for the next decade and to reduce phosphorus pollution and improve water quality.
Center for Water Policy and Brico Fund Journalist in Residence, Dan Egan was the featured keynote speaker of the conference, and has been featured in multiple major media outlets to discuss society’s delicate relationship with phosphorus, which is the focus of his newest book, “The Devil’s Element: Phosphorus and a World Out of Balance”.
