A Regional Gap Analysis by Great Lakes WISE was published in February 2025 and set out to identify challenges and opportunities surrounding water resource management in the Great Lakes region, focusing on the combined effects of climate change, population growth, economic development, aging infrastructure, and emerging contaminants. Understanding how these pressures are impacting the region’s water systems is critical to identifying solutions that will help protect water quality, ensure sustainability, and build resilience for the future. This Gap Analysis will serve as the foundation for developing strategy and forming project ideas that can be carried out collectively through Great Lakes WISE. Click here to read the story.
