Milwaukee = water hub

On Tuesday, the UN announced that it would add Milwaukee to its list of Global Compact Cities for its commitment to research and innovation in water technology.  The Milwaukee 7 Water Council and the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee worked for a year to earn the distinction.  Now the city must carry out water quality projects that can be emulated by other cities around the globe.  Check out an article detailing the UN distinction in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel here and the Milwaukee 7 website here.
