Water Works
Cleaning Up Our Act
As we've seen, the history of Milwaukee's relationship with water has been in many ways defined by the damage Milwaukeeans have done to its rivers, lakes, and streams. In this episode of Water Works, we begin to focus on Milwaukee's concerted efforts to clean up the messes it has made by charting the history of our environmental movement.
Water Works is a production of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Department of History and the Milwaukee County Historical Society. For more information about the show, including photographs and documents from the era, check out milwaukeehistory.net/podcast/.
