Abstract
This data represents dams in Wisconsin in 2023.[This dataset represents "Dams" in Wisconsin. A dam is a barrier that impounds water and generally serves the primary purpose of retaining water. Wisconsin law defines a dam as “any artificial barrier in or across a watercourse which has the primary purpose of impounding or diverting water and includes all appurtenant works, such as a dike, canal or powerhouse". Visit https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Dams for more information.]
Purpose
This data is intended for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [Wisconsin statewide repository of dams]
