Some of the new immigrants who were settling into the new state of Wisconsin during the middle of the 19th century were wheat farmers [ citation needed]. By 1860, Wisconsin was one of the major producers of wheat. Rail transport was needed to transport this grain from the wheat fields of Wisconsin to Milwaukee's harbor. Improvements in railways at the time made this possible. Most German immigrants came to Wisconsin in search of inexpensive farmland. [49] However, immigration began to change in character and size in the late 1840s and early 1850s, due to the 1848 revolutionary movements in Europe. [50] After 1848, hopes for a united Germany had failed, and revolutionary and radical Germans, known as the " Forty-Eighters", immigrated to the U.S. to avoid imprisonment and persecution by German authorities.

[82] Its objectives were to "better understand the processes related to freshwater systems dynamics" and to develop "a policy and management program aimed at balancing the protection and utilization of freshwater". The strategy used the Circles of Sustainability method. Instead of treating the water quality problem as a single environmental issue, the Water Council draws on the Circles method to analyze the interconnection among ecological, economic, political and cultural factors. [83] This holistic water treatment helped Milwaukee win the US Water Alliance's 2012 US Water Prize.
