Delavan Lake
Watershed Initiative Network
Please use the link below to read an overview of the principles for establishment of the Delavan Lake WIN. You may also learn more background on our history of lake efforts leading to this important coalition focused on “Improving The Past” by visiting our "DLIA in Action" section at the top of our home page. Delavan Lake Win
Recently the DLIA assisted the Town Lake Committee by conducting a survey of Lake Associations and Lake Districts throughout the State of Wisconsin to determine how other communities fund projects to improve and maintain the health of their lakes.
Our report offers our conclusions and recommendations, including a list of “best practices” found in success stories from these Lakes. Please take a look at the full report in our “DLIA In Action” section above.

DLIA Supports
Cover Crop Program
The DLIA has been supporting efforts to protect Delavan Lake by working with local farmers participating in the Cover Crop Program. You can learn more about this “Special Project” and read recent comments on the program from Walworth County and the Kettle Morraine Land Trust by accessing “Protecting the Lake”.
Take a few minutes to explore our “Rehabilitation”, “Restoration” and “Maintenance” sections, too!
Lake Turnover
At a recent DLIA Board of Directors meeting, the topic of "Lake Turnover" came up, and we determined that many of us did not know what that meant. New Board Member, Kay Beers, located the interesting details for us. Take a look!

Delavan Lake Restoration
Efforts Deliver
The April edition of Wisconsin Natural Resources Magazine has a very good article about restoration efforts on Delavan Lake and the importance of “clean water economics”. The article also acknowledges the DLIA as "watchdog" for the long-term health of the lake and notes our recent study of the practices of other towns in protecting their lakes.

DLIA Makes Major Changes to the Annual Lake Information Day
New Fair format promises to be more fun and a better way to learn about lake events and updates!
The fair will be held on Saturday, June 9th for the annual DLIA Lake Fair from 9:00AM to Noon at Community Park in Delavan.
Three important changes were made to this year's DLIA Annual Information Day that promise to make this event better after all:
•The date was moved from the busy Memorial Day holiday weekend to June 9th so more members can attend and bring some friends. Plus the time has been expanded from 9:00AM to Noon!
