Where You Live Program Links Watershed Management Drinking Water and Groundwater Wisconsin has redesigned its natural resource management approach around the concepts of ecoregions and basins or watersheds . This shift in approach recognizes that working with the natural structure and function of resources, as opposed to strictly political or social boundaries, will provide more successful results. Basins and watersheds are interconnected areas of land draining from surrounding ridge tops to a common point such as a lake or stream confluence with a neighboring land area. All lands and waterways can be found within one watershed or another. Picture a raindrop making its way from the very top of the mountain, through and over the land, joining more water on a journey down through gullies, streams and rivers to a lake. The land where all the water comes from is a watershed...it's easy to see that what the water picks up on its journey will affect the receiving waters lakes, rivers, and wetlands located downstream.

Extractions: E-mail Directory text-only site HOME WHO WE ARE LINKS PUBLICATIONS ... GUEST BOOK The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is significantly higher than for people without disabilities. Many individuals with disabilities of working age lack marketable job skills and have not been adequately prepared for careers. However, a postsecondary education appears to improve employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities by helping students learn employment skills necessary to find - and keep - a job. Following the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, and an expanding awareness of accessibility and disability issues in our society, more and more students with disabilities are seeking access to colleges, universities, and vocational technical programs. However, just as marketable job skills are the result of hard work at the postsecondary level, students with disabilities must work to prepare themselves for a successful postsecondary experience before they leave high school. The key to a successful postsecondary education is that students become knowledgeable about their own accommodation needs and their postsecondary education responsibilities, as well as their educational rights. Although protections against discrimination exist, students have greater responsibility for initiating, designing and ensuring their own accommodations. They must be prepared to handle these responsibilities as well as their coursework. Here are some things you can do to help prepare for a successful postsecondary academic or technical experience.
